Berlin Flak Towers

On the night of the 25th of August 1940, British bombers attacked the city of Berlin for the first time. The targeting of Berlin was thought impossible. Hermann Goering promised Hitler his Luftwaffe would protect the German skies and if a single bomb fell on Berlin, he would change his name “Maier”.

In response Hitler order the creation of the Berlin Flak towers. A total of six Flak Towers were to be constructed but as the war dragged on and resources were needed elsewhere only three Flak Towers were constructed in Berlin. A grand total of eight Flak Towers would be built through the Reich, 3 in Berlin, 2 in Hamburg and 3 in Vienna.

So what remains of the Berlin Flak towers, follow me and lets find out....
