History time : World War II Site

6 15

Good morning everyone, hope you all having a good day. As I always say another day another history topic to be publish😊 hope you guys enjoy reading.

Let's get started.

Following the Royal Air Force raid on German cities, Adolf Hitler ordered the construction of Flaktürme or Flak towers in 1940. The massive concrete fortresses were built as a defense against Allied aerial attacks. Eight of these were built in Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna.⠀

Made with concrete walls up to 3.5 meters thick, the Flak towers were impenetrable enough that none of them were destroyed throughout the war. Each Flak towers had a G combat tower and L command tower. The combat tower was equipped with anti-aircraft guns and multi-level guns that could reach targets up to 14 kilometers away. It also had the firepower of 8,000 rounds per minute.⠀


When the Soviet Red Army reached Berlin, the Flak towers served as shelters to 10,000 civilians. While some of the towers were demolished after the war, one was converted into an aquarium, another was transformed into a nightclub, and the other one was used as a renewable energy plant.⠀
