Nyboder Skole, Gefechtsstand.  
     
  This GefStd was originally established to serve Wehrmacht Befehlshaber Dänemark.  It consisted of Nyboder Skole, a guard house, a Offiziers Kasino, a command bunker, a communications bunker and a bunker probably intended for storage, all underground.  The bunkers were completed 1 AUG 1943.  In December 1943 Wehrmacht Befehlshaber Dänemark moved to Silkeborg Bad, and the GefStd was handed over to a HQ which had many designations, some for the purpose of concealing the true identity.  Kdr.Res.Gren.Rgt 6, 166 Res.Div. Oberfeldkdtr. 398 all - so it seems - being Höhrer Kommando Kopenhagen a formation commanded by a general, but whose function is not quite clear.   A RAF and a Danish report states that the GefStd housed the OZ of See-Kommandant Dänische Inseln at the time of the liberation, which is incorrect.
