3: Use the time line. Every single illustration has its story and place in time and space. Recently I was asked by an old school classmate about a bunker on the isle of Fanø. In fact it was her 14 years old daughter who asked the question. I remembered when I was 14 years old I asked the same questions. My late teacher gave me a bunch of Xeroxed pages with pictures of Second Word War German Defenses. Facebook and Play station did not exist back then, so i went out to explore my neighborhood. This was about 1977. Thanks to the Internet and computer games history is quite early a part of new generations world. The questions asked request precise information. It is often a quite a demanding task to answer them. I consider this as good sport! However, my hope is you will continue to ask questions and explore things around you in your learning process. These pages may be of some use for research out in the field on your smartphone or tablet, when you are alone on your own expedition or on survey in company of your class. These pages are made for the people living in this part of Denmark and the guest who are visiting us from abroad. Wondering about these ancient concrete blocks crumbling in the dunes. The bunkers did not fall out of the sky. They were made by people who had a plan to conquer the World. They were made for a reason. They became later a kind of Back Office for Hitler´s Germany's quest for supremacy in the Soviet Union (to day Russia). The articles don’t start with the world of history, but with what you come across in the field to day. We try to go back from there. Marco Hansen, 2017
