 Designed in late 1942, these Flak Towers stood at over 170 feet and acted as an absolute barricade to any aircraft and vehicles coming into it's range. The biggest flaw of these towers was the high amount of material required to build one, and usually would take about 6 - 7 months or so of construction to complete just one tower, but they made up for this with terrifying efficiency in taking out anything unfortunate enough to get in its way. These towers guarded important military installations which were vital to the German war effort. With 33 flak guns, these towers could annihilate nearly anything with pure efficiency, entire formations of aircraft were completely wiped out in short swaths of fire from the guns within the tower. Although it wasn't fully standalone, it required external radar towers to track aircraft and needed additional spotlight emplacements throughout the base in order to spot and shoot down nightly formations. The disablement of these additional tools could severely lower the efficiency of the tower, and cause massive problems to the crew trying to suppress and destroy enemy aircraft. As of right now the tower is almost completely furnished and two of them are stationed throughout the German military harbor base, with more on the way.

Dimensions

1 Block = 1 meter
Height: 52 Blocks (170 feet)
Length: 87 Blocks (285 feet)
Width: 89 Blocks (291 feet)

Flooring/Layout
The tower has 11 floors, all of which serve different purposes. The first floor is dedicated solely to the garage area, where there are lights and a 4-way road that allows vehicles to drive through the tower. There are several lights hanging from the ceiling and one light in the exact center to illuminate the garage area, although it doesn't work the best it is better than no lighting whatsoever. The first floor is also the only way to access the upper floors because there are no outside doors that allow access to the cylindrical attachments which consist of most AA guns and open firing areas. The second floor has a similar structure to the first floor but is more of an overlook into the garage. Here soldiers can overwatch vehicles driving into the tower and attack any hostile forces trying to enter the tower, because of the garage being the only way to enter the tower. The third floor is similar to the next 5 floors but has 4 differently designed rooms and a slightly different corridor layout due to the rooms being a bit larger and containing 10 anti-ship - anti-tank guns total. The next 5 floors have a similar layout to floor 3 but are dedicated more to holding the armories and resting areas for the soldiers stationed within the base, alongside the medical rooms for injured. The last 3 floors are where all the anti-air guns are, with the 9th floor being accessible through the cylindrical structures and the last 2 being accessible through the central structure. The last floors are mostly open, due to it consisting of AA guns with the only covered areas being the entrances to the final floors. This floor is where all the anti-air action is.

Weaponry
The tower itself consists of about 33 anti-air guns on the top floors and 10 anti-tank - anti-ship guns on the third floor, which totals up to 43 guns total.

16 Flak-36 anti-air guns.
8 Flak 88 anti-air guns.
4 50.cal machine guns.
1 Dual Mount Flak-88 AA gun.
4 Flakviering 38 quad mount anti-air guns.
10 Flak 37 anti-tank guns on floor 3.

Leftover Information
The sole design of the tower interior is more of a different take on my personal architecture which is partly inspired by WH40k. I wanted to try it out in Minecraft to see how it would work and I liked it. It may not fit in the whole base set but it definitely looks good. The architectural style is probably something I'd use in far, far future builds where most of today's life is completely forgotten and war is the only thing. Oh, and the Shaders are Chocapic Shaders. There will not be a download.
