World War history has played a significant role in Austria’s past. The Flakturm is a concrete bunker that was placed in the city in order to provide a shelter to people who could gather here during bombings and store their goods. The bunker was equipped with Flak anti-aircraft gun after which its name has been kept. Infact, such types of structures were made during the high time of World War in cities like Berlin (Germany), Hamburg (Germany) and Vienna (Austria). Do have a look at it in order to understand Vienna’s past in a better light.
