This book tells the history of the Flaktürme - how it came to this extraordinary design and construction. But it also shows the armament and how the Flaktürme were supposed to be used and operated. It tells how thousands of civilians were supposed to find shelter in the bunkers while the heavy anti-aircraft guns on top would be firing on the Allied airplanes that were bombing the city. The different types of towers are described and pictured with the use of over 130 photos, drawings, floorplans and documents.
