Gun Battery Törring

In early 1944 the Germans began as part of their atlantic wall, construction of a coastal battery to cover the western entrance of the Limfjord. The guns were captured Russian 122 mm. guns and each of the four guns were placed in a pillbox. In addition, there were built three machine gun bunkers  to close combat. The pillboxes was designed so that it was possible to pull the gun out the back. Doing so, the guns had, from an open gun post, a 360-degree shoting field. Crew faceliteter and firecontrolpost was installed in light bunkers, built of concrete blocks. The entire coastal battery was protected by barbed wire and minefields.

Simple gun batterys as this, was from 1943 built solid long the entire atlantic wall. Notably at Ver-Sur-Mer, Merville and Vester Vedsted.
