Philip asked me about places to see in Denmark concerning WW2, so I thought I'd create a small list which could be inspiration for others who'd might venture to Denmark some time in the future. Apart from the museums listed below, the entire north and west coast of Jutland is crawling with bunkers. So if you're into concrete emplacements, grab a flashlight and start exploring. Atlantic Wall museums Silkeborg Bunkermuseum Gjessøvej 40d | 8600 Silkeborg Telefon: +45 86 81 38 85 www.silkeborgbunkermuseum.dk Every year on the 19th of May there is a fairly large re-enactment gathering with all sorts vehicles related. Bunkermuseet Hirtshals Kystvejen | 9850 Hirtshals Telefon: +45 96 24 10 50 www.bunkermuseethirtshals.dk An open air bunkermuseum MuseumsCenter Hanstholm Molevej 29 | 7730 Hanstholm Telefon: +45 97 96 17 36 www.museumscenterhanstholm.dk Probably the best Atlantic wall related museum in Denmark. A museum in a hugely restored 38 cm gun battery. Do visit the battery which has not been restored a few kilometers away as well, but remember the flash light! Bangsbo Fort Bunkermuseum Understedvej 21 | 9900 Frederikshavn Telefon: +45 98 42 31 11 www.bangsbo.com A pioneer among Danish museums concerning WW2 research. The exhibit and the bunkers are located a two different places. The exhibit at the museum covers the resistance movements during the war and from here on you can drive to the bunkers where there’s also a few displays in some of the bunkers. Skagen Bunkermuseum Fyrvej 39 | 9990 Skagen Telefon: +45 98 44 40 40 www.skagen-bunkermuseum.dk A small display inside a hospital bunker. But the surrounding bunkers along the north coast are well worth a visit. Tirpitz-stillingen Tane Hedevej, 6857 Blåvand (West coast of Jutland) http://vardemuseum.dk/dk.php/museer/tirpitz-stillingen Museums concerning resistance movements Frihedsmuseet Churchillparken 7 | 1263 København K. Telefon: +45 33 47 39 21 www.natmus.dk In my opinion the best and most informative museum regarding the resistance movements in Denmark during the war. Besættelsesmuseet i Århus Mathilde Fibigers Have 2 | 8000 Århus C. Telefon: +45 86 18 42 77 www.besaettelsesmuseet.dk Frihedsmuseet i Skanderborg Kindlersvej 6 | 8660 Skanderborg Telefon: +45 86 51 02 27 www.skanderborgfrihedsmuseum.dk A small display about WW2 Mindelunden Tuborgvej 33 | 2900 Hellerup Telefon: +45 39 62 14 67 www.mindelundenryvangen.dk This was the location where all of the freedom fighters were executed in Copenhagen. It’s a park area with lots of memorials. Some of the perhaps most famous groups who are remembered here are The Hvidsten Group, members of Holger Danske, as well as ‘Flame and Citron’. KZ camp museums Frøslevlejrens Museum Lejrvej 83 | 6330 Padborg Telefon: +45 74 67 65 57 www.froeslevlejrensmuseum.dk
We have checked the list and sites and will certainly visit a number of them thanks for this, by the way, what about the fuel price's are they as over here (1,80 eur for a litre!!!!!) or much better , motorways station are in Netherlands always higher priced then in the cities.
Here's another museum in the Atlantic Wall category I forgot to add. Tirpitz-stillingen Tane Hedevej, 6857 Blåvand (West coast of Jutland) Tirpitz-stillingen: Tysk bunker fra 2. Verdenskrig - og kunst | Varde Museum

It's pretty high here as well. It's usually around 1.60 euro a litre - but some days it can be around 1.70. It's normally the same prices at motorways as in the cities, depending on what service station it is
oke thanks, for that info Jakob, as over here is sometimes is 10-15 cent higher per litre on the motorway, we got the unmanned stations like Firezone and Tango which are cheaper then the manned stations
