Obiekty militarne jako element krajobrazu kulturowego Półwyspu Helskiego
Military objects as an element of the cultural landscape of the Hel Peninsula

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the military objects of the Hel Peninsula which played a key role during the defense of September 1939. What has served as an object of this research is the two regions of the Hel Peninsula, in the landscape of which many fortifications have survived, namely, The Jastarnia Resistance Center and The Hel Fortified Area. The article indicates the location, military characteristics and purpose of individual elements of fortifications in both areas. These objects were later extended to cater for the needs of the army, however, they lost their rank when the military unit was disassembled. Due to the growing number of military enthusiasts The Jastarnia Resistance Center and The Hel Fortified Area had soon become a local attraction, which contributed to the revitalisation of various facilities and making them available for cultural purposes.
