These are the Second World War bunkers that still crouch on the landscape as echoes of the biggest conflict in history. Ava’s Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
I've been watching a Danish tv series called Seaside Hotel. It's a charming show, both comic and dramatic, set pre- and post WW2 on the Jutland coast. Obviously the producers haven't read any Revisionist History (or else they wouldn't have been allowed to proceed), but the series in marred by an interminable number of Nazi/Jewish references stemming from Denmark's transitional political position, whereby the unveiling of collaboration and entanglements w/ the occupying Germans dominates 2-3 seasons.
I mention this because one of the ongoing subplots involves the building of German bunkers near the hotel. A couple of the yearly summering guests were involved in building and financing the still standing concrete emplacements much to their post-war embarrassment. The structures unfortunately lack the haunt of Andrew's magnificent photos which capture the melancholy of a dream defended but lost.
