The Tune Position

The great plan

Modern artillery had outdated the old defence Line. Realizing that it was neccesary to move the defence linr so far away from the capitol that the defence could not be observed and shelled, construction of the Tune Position started in 1915.

A Line of trenches, lines with barbed wire, small bunkers and casemates.

The line started at Mosede (coastal battery) and went north.
The line north of Roskilde was never build, but the materials and equipment were present.

The position were divided in three parts.

The Karlslunde Part
The Tune Part
The Roskilde Part
