 The Abkær Battery
 
 
The Battery was composed of five 12.5 cm guns from Fort Schrevendorff, Kiel. The Crew was
 consisting of naval
  gunners. 
 The guns were on carriages, placed on a base of timber. The guns were camouflage painted and
 covered with net, in which vegetation was placed as
camouflage.
   
 The Battery was situated on a little hill in the Abkær Mose (moor), the only possible place.
 The rooms were made of concrete, and the ceiling armoured with railway tracks.
  
 Nothing further is known about this battery.
