For your anwser , do you think that the practice target for the airplanes
were in front of the bunker with 4 observationholes or behind the observation-
post with the mirrorsystem .

I am certain that the tagets were in front of the observation holes. The mirror was used to verify that the attacking aircraft was approaching along the correct flight path.

The wooden cross is new to me. A navigation sign or something to signal the gunnery results?

Having looked at the picture again and read the range orders, I now think that the cross was a marker intended - together with another one - to indicate the attack direction. When running in to attack, one lined up the two crosses and the target was beyond the last one - to the right one my picture.

Heres a nice example of a concrete training bomb, this one is from Sulzheim southeast of Schweinefurt.

Is there any remains from these tests? I did a google on the area without finding anything except that there were a monitoring position at Stevns Klint during the war. I would imagine if they used a mistel on those rocks, the results must have been visible even today?

If you scroll down a little you'll find an Intel report from the Danish Resistance.

There has been a number of landslides in the area so I doubt there are any visible signs.
