Военное наследие Хеля

Military Heritage of Hel

The Hel Peninsula served as a strategic military stronghold for over a century, most notably during the 1939 defense of Poland. This collection features the massive 406 mm Schleswig-Holstein battery, the H. Laskowski battery which defended the coast against German warships, and various bunkers, fire control towers, and artillery positions spanning from WWII to the Cold War era. These sites, many of which are part of the Museum of Coastal Defense, offer a detailed look at coastal fortification engineering.
