Large engaging WWII museum fitted out in an old bunker system, part of the 'Atlantic Wall'; an immense German military defence network along the North Atlantic coasts of Europe. From this bunker battery in Hanstholm, the German Wehrmacht could repel an allied invasion and control a strategical important part of the North Sea, during the German occupation. The stronghold in Hanstholm was one of the largest German fortresses in Northern Europe, manned with a total of 90 soldiers and huge 38 cm cannons. Special events every week.
