German politicians dream of Germany becoming the leading conventional military power in Europe in the future. The money for a gigantic defence budget has now been approved by parliament. However, the mental attitude of the population, the majority of whom, according to surveys, refuse to fight with weapons themselves in the event of defence, is a problem for those in power. Events such as the 1st Veterans' Day are intended to help counteract this.
Deutsche Politiker träumen davon, dass Deutschland in Zukunft die führende konventionelle Militärmacht Europas wird. Das Geld für einen gigantischen Verteidigungshaushalt wurde jetzt vom Parlament bewilligt. Doch die mentale Einstellung der Bevölkerung, die Umfragen zufolge mehrheitlich ablehnt im Verteidigungsfall selber mit der Waffe zu kämpfen, macht den Regierenden zu schaffen. Veranstaltungen wie der 1. Veteranentag sollen dazu beitragen dem entgegenzuwirken.

Visited as part of an Open Day on 29 September 2018.
Construction started in 1877 as one of a series of defences to protect the strategically important docks at Chatham. After a few setbacks and delays, the fort was completed in 1892 and the finished construction was considerably smaller than the original plan. The only excavations to be dug were those of the ditch, from which the earth was used to cover the exposed structures inside the fort. The ditch was concrete lined and the final feature to be installed was the rare rolling drawbridge.
The fort was purely defensive, and was never armed (like most 'forts' of the time), but would have been armed and manned in the event of a national crisis. Ironically, by the time the series of fortifications were completed they were outdated and obsolete.
