Abstract

This report summarizes impressions from a study visit to a number of fortified sites in eastern Germany that took place in the spring of 2023. The study was conducted jointly by The Swedish Fortifications Agency, The Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI), The Swedish Armed Forces, The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) and The Swedish Defence University (FHS). This report describes the visiting experts impressions of technical solutions and discusses the possible utility of that knowledge today.
