The seat of war in Denmark, 1864. The Map gives a correct outline of the Sundewitt Peninsula, including the fortified lines of D?ppel on the nose of land between Als Sund (the Alsen Strait) and the small gulf called the Venning Bund, with the Isle of Alsen opposite...The Danish forces were posted along the road from West D?ppel to Sonderburg, and in the ten redoubts or forts by which that road is protected, their seaward front also commanding the waters of the Venning Bund and the Broagerland shore. The Prussian heavy batteries...began, on the 15th of March, to bombard the D?ppel forts. But on the 17th...they attacked the Danish position at Frydendal and West D?ppel, and obtained possession of both those villages, with the Ruhenberg and Avnbierg hills; the last-named hill being within half a mile of the nearest Danish redoubt. The village of West D?ppel is said to have been almost destroyed by the cannonade which the Danes have since kept up with a view to drive the Prussians out of it. Within the last few days, however, the Prussians have made a general attack upon the whole of the Danish lines, and have been repulsed. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
