The CRAZY story behind Vienna's damn ugly war towers known as the 'Flakturm'

Описание: Our latest episode of Vienna's History Mysteries has us looking up at the concrete war towers that dominate Vienna's skyline that are known as the Flakturm.

Our host, Samantha Pyra, explores the story behind how the Flakturm came to be built during WW2 and why they're still standing in the modern city of Vienna, today.

Vienna’s History Mysteries is a series where we seek out the mysteries of Vienna’s past and try to solve them. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail. Most importantly, we always learn a whole bunch of really interesting stuff about Vienna!
