Yes, but the flak tower in Vienna looks now different. In 1957 they started to built a oceanarium there. The original flak tower was 67 meters high with 10 floors made from concrete blocks with 2,5 meters thick walls. There were few underground bomb shelters builded also in a nearby park. This particular flak tower was finished in early 1944. As Allied bombing raids intensivied throughout the 1943, the flak towers were build as a defensive measure and as a protection for civilian population.Myron wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 4:22 pmWow, you visited one of these?!

The sight of a rusty weapon always makes me sad.
There were also flak towers constructed in Berlin and Hamburg.
