Aerials: Unknown structure

Hello,

You see these objects very often on aerials, does anyone know what they are?

I marked some, but i mean all of them... are they "rommel-asperagus" or some kind to prevent airlanding troops? In this case, a HUGE area above Antwerp is littered with them, on all possible surfaces...

The picture is from januari 1944, so they arent minefields that are cleared.

Hello

Not in January - so I tend to give Tom right in "Rommel Asperagues" for preventing glider landings.

These are just "planted" Rommelspargel, the spots you see is the ground that was dug out to place the beam.
