I saw the same show. What a great diorama one of those towers would make.

I've seen those flak towers all over germany, I'm stationed here in schweinfurt.
I never really knew what some of the old bunkers and what not were for?
Next time I go out and about I'll take a few pics of what I find, and there are
quit a few in the woods where I mtn bike.
I have some time next week and later in Dec. Iwas planning on taking leave so
maybe if I can find the roads to the "Eagles nest " I can get some of that for everyone to see as well.
