I.a.w. common German practice these sites consisted of standardized elements (electronic equipment, barracks/buildings and
bunkers), combined and laid out with specified distance criteria. Sites on the coast were eventually equipped with heavy bunkers (St.- aufbau) for the protection of vital functions, equipment and personnel. In in-land sites in many countries it
was specified, that the buildings should offer protection against small arms fire |
|
| |
The configuration of the sites developed over time. The drawing immediately below depicts a fairly early configuration. With the
introduction of the long range search radars (Fernsuchgeräte) Wassermann and Mammut and with the increased emphasis on reducing vulnerability, the configuration standard changed and when fully developed was called a
Vollfestungsmässig Gross Suchstellung. It consisted of a fortified main site (Hauptstützpunkt I) and two fortified satellite sites (Stützpunkt II and III) each with a long range
radar. Please see drawing: "Flugmeldemess-Stellung 1'Ordnung, with bunkers, notional" below, for a lay-out typical of sites in Denmark. |

actually built exactly iaw these specifications. |
