The
Tune Position
Other facilities.
Flank positions on the beach.
They had a little different task than the flanking
positions at the trenches. They
were supposed to cover the
barbed wire closures on the beach below Mosede Fort and its batteries

Flanking position at the beach. |
Machine gun Positions
In recognition of the good observation options from the aeroplanes,
the idea of fixed posts in the form of
caves and galleries was given up.
Instead machine gun nests were designed in the terrain,
where they cast space only for shelter for
the crew.
When an attack began, the crew
could run out to their small hidden posts in the terrain.
None of these small positions were build before peace
broke out.
It shows, however, that the development of the battle went
faster than constructing the positions.
Redoubts (= skanse) and other works, probably only earth
embankments blocked with barbed wire:
Risø skanse
Kildemose skanse
Vindinge dobbeltskanse
Karlslundeværk (Hill 32)
Korporalsværket
Kridthusværket (med Kridthus
Vest galleri)
Svanedamsværket
Klintegårdsværket
Emergency rooms:
960 emergency rooms were plann,
which number later were reduced to 640.
in 1919 only 160 were actually
built. In the beginning the Emergency rooms were
given numbers, but later given names.
Example:
Emergency room 39
and 40 becomes Firhøje
West Room and Firhøje
East Room.
Coverage Positions:
Veddelev Mølle Dækningsgrav
Højskole Dækningsgrav
Rolighed Dækningsgrav (not the Rolighed
Emergency room)
Roskildevej Dækningsgrav
Some
other coastal forts and batteries were constructed at the island of Zeeland, but
in a distance of 50 to 75 kilometres of
Copenhagen.

the
Masnedø Fort to the south at Vordingborg
