LUFTWAFFE TOWERS IN VIENNA

In September 2017 I’ve journeyed to Vienna, Austria and found all six ex Luftwaffe Towers, known as Flak towers, Ati Aircraft Towers or Flakturm. These concrete giants survived Second World War and still create great impression at close range. Short War and after War history of the Towers with photos and commentaries.

Nice story about the flaktowers, nothing new - but nice story :-)

I assume the pictures are your own.

Please search this forum for more informations about flaktowers, and a lot of information will show.
