Flak towers (German: Flaktürme) were large anti-aircraft gun blockhouses used by the Luftwaffe to prevent overflights of key areas in certain cities in World War II.
Each Flak tower complex consisted of a G-Tower (Gun Tower), and a L-Tower (Fire Control Tower).
This was the L-Tower, whose function was to direct and control the anti-aircraft fire from the adjacent G-Tower.
