In-depth

Overview

With this in-depth chapter, we would like to present you an overview of different aspects of German defence measures. These aspects are categorized in a subcategory about the bunker development (bunker types), a subcategory about the larger bunkers concentration known to us (defensive units), a small subcategory regarding weapons, steel parts and equipment (armament) and a comprehensive subcategory about batteries and radar sites still present.

Subcategory

It was very important for us to include the subcategory defensive units, and batteries and radar, in our website. Reason for this is that these subjects remain rather unmentioned on the internet, and therefor, there is no good (global) information. The content available is scattered over different websites. We strongly believe that the overview regarding battery and radar is worthwhile, because it gives you an impression about the high number of sites that is left along the coastlines.

Defensive unit

The defensive unit section is for the fanatics and deals with all countries. Here we have tried to summon up all resistance nests and strongpoints which are still present within a specific unit. During the war built out as an area with an impressive number of defensive units, after the war most of them were sadly reduced to areas with smaller numbers. But there are some left rather untouched, the quantity of bunkers still present is unbelievable, and it takes weeks to visit them all!
