Denmark - Tirpitz Battery - Blåvand - 1 |
|
During World War II the Germans had some strong fortifications in
the Blåvand and Esbjerg area. One of these point should have been
the Tirpitz Battery, but this battery was never finished. If it had
been finished, it would have had some of the strongest guns on the
Atlantic Wall.
