Flak Towers - Flaktürme (2017x53)

:

In World War 2 Germany constructed several “Flak Türme” or in English Flak Towers. There were located in 3 cities, namely, Berlin, Hamburg and Vienna. Many of them actually survived up to this day, because they were usually too difficult to destroy. For instance, in Vienna all 6 are still standing and they were also the most modern ones. Military History Visualized provides a series of short narrative and visual presentations like documentaries based on academic literature or sometimes primary sources. Videos are intended as introduction to military history, but also contain a lot of details for history buffs. Since the aim is to keep the episodes short and comprehensive some details are often cut. »» GET OUR BOOK: Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 German/English - http://www.hdv470-7.com/ » HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT MILITARY HISTORY VISUALIZED « (A) You can support my channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv (B) You can support me via Paypal donations: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY (C) You can also buy "Spoils of War" (merchandise) in the online shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop » SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS « facebook: https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ twitter: https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized tumblr: http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ » SOURCES « Sakkers Widmann, Hans Elmar: Flaktürme - Wien - Hamburg - Berlin Zaloga, Steven: Defense of the Reich 1941-1945 (Fortress) Schabel, Ralf: Die Illusion der Wunderwaffen.
