Berlin (Flakt Tower)

The Berlin Flaktower, built during World War II, is a large anti-aircraft tower designed to defend the city from aerial attacks. These towers, part of a broader defense system, served as commanding points, radar stations, and gun positions to detect and shoot down enemy aircraft. Architecturally, they are massive, fortified structures with thick walls and multiple levels, now considered historical landmarks. Today, some have been repurposed for various uses like observation decks or museums, offering insight into wartime defense strategies and architecture.
