**A Glimpse into History: The War in Denmark**
This striking photograph print, taken in 1864, captures a pivotal moment during the war between Denmark and Prussia. Titled "The Redoubts Nos. 4, 5, 6, and 7 at Duppel", it shows the tense standoff between Danish and Prussian forces on Ruhenberg Hill.
Since March 17th of that year, the hill has been under Prussian control, with their soldiers stationed in redoubts (fortified outposts) just a short distance from the Danish lines. The photograph reveals four Prussian sentries lying low behind an earthen bank to avoid enemy fire. Beyond them lies a field where more Prussians are posted at regular intervals.
The Danes occupy the adjacent hill, their own soldiers spaced similarly apart, with both sides within easy musket-shot of each other. In the distance, the high road to Sonderburg winds its way up the hill, flanked by telegraph posts. This very ground witnessed a failed Prussian attack on Redoubt No. 6, repelled three times by Danish artillery.
This powerful image from "Illustrated London News" (1864) offers a unique glimpse into the war-torn landscape of Denmark during this tumultuous period in history.
