 Special interests:
 The forts and fortresses  of the pre-
 WW1 period.

The first and second Danish-Prussian
war in 1848 and 1864.

 

 

I have allways been interested in history.  In my youth, primarily WW2  and  the German occupation of  Denmark.
Inspired of my fathers  storys about  the Danish resisteance during WW  II,  I suppose.

In the mid 1980´s I discovered the  Danish  Defence Line around  Copenhagen, Vestvolden.
 I just couldn't let the amazing story  go, which step by step, led to the Web Site about  the Fortifications of Copenhagen
