A themed history day at Fyns Militærhistoriske Museum looks at Odinstårnet, the 177-metre tower inaugurated on Bolbro Bakke in 1935 that became a landmark for Odense and Fyn before it was blown up in December 1944.
The day also covers the Petergruppe, the mixed German and Danish Nazi group behind a series of brutal attacks on civilians and buildings in Odense during the occupation, including the murder of actor Bent von Müllen from Odense Teater. The programme is run jointly by the museum and Foreningen Odinstaarnet, which will talk about the tower's history and its destruction and show its model of Odinstårnet at 1:87 scale, over two metres tall.
Visitors can also explore exhibitions on the occupation, the resistance and about 400 years of Funen's military history, see uniforms, weapons and vehicles, and talk with the museum's volunteers. There is a museum treasure hunt for children, so the whole family can take part.
