Hi again
I lost all photos from the first trip by a computer virus, I went back last month to get some new ones, This time you also see the underground tunnel's and bunker systems where they controlled the entrance to the East sea and the soviets ships movement, A high % of the intelligence the U.S. got about soviet warship movement from this area was from this Underground fort. The direct comunications line between US and USSR was also going through here also.
There was also a fort on Langeland it was working whit,it had "control" over the storebelt. There are to entrances to the east sea, oresund(between Denmark and Sweeden) and storebelt(between Sjælland and Jylland)
The 15cm guns on the Stevensfort cut reach the Sweedish coast.
Alot of the materials for the bunker was from the German built Atlantic wall on the west coast in Jylland ( Bed's and steel door's and stuff like that)
Hope you guys like the photos

Hi, nice pics from the Stevs fortress, and you are right there is a similar museum on the island Langeland, I will see if I can get some pics from there, some time. I have been at both places, when they where still working.
Regards Yab.
