Frederick Wilhelm 1 (Quedau / No. 3) Fort at Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad)

Scene of heavy fighting in April 1945 during the final stages of the Battle of Konigsberg. The fort is tucked behind a petrol station within the inner ring road to the east of the city (invisible from the carriageway). Navigate past the big dog (friendly) and the iron gates to find a battlefield virtually untouched since 1945. We spent a fascinating few hours exploring the tunnels and chambers in this huge fort.
