MKB 6/514 Storkorsnes I & II

Post by Kernowgaz » 27 Aug 2023 10:29

Hi.
I visited this place yesterday, well worth a visit. If anyone does go I would recommend taking a torch. I didn't :roll: There are a couple of tunnels to explore but the torch on my phone just wasn't bright enough.

And if you do find yourself in the Alta area I would highly recommend the Tirpitz Museum :thumbsup:

Eax, I assume that the Leitstand is the loose blocks of concrete laying around.

Hello Jack,

I suspect the octogonal shape of the drone picture to be the leitstand. It looks wrecked but not blown into pieces.

It looks like, yes. There are 2 steel antena shafts, usual on Leitstände.
