Hi, i have been reading about this battery in the osprey atlantic wall series but i cant seem to find any decent pics of it, i was surprised to find that bunkersite have not covered it, can any one help with this, also does any one have any pics of batterie trondenes1 mkb 5/511 with its 406mm skl/45 adolfkanone and batterie fjell, mkb. 11/504 bergen norway (i am mainly looking for pics of the main gun and its current site as bunkersite doesn't cover the turret emplacement).

thanks

Hello
Its not a problem finding pictures of those guns, search MKB Ørlandet, MKB Fjell, and MKB Trondenes.
Regarding MKB Fjell, what picures are you interested in ?
regards

general images of it now and when it was in use, the info i have in the osprey book only gives in an artist form and a overview plan form so i cant figure out the site even using bunkersite as there seems to be more bunkers at teh site than the plan says there are, the trouble is alot of the results come up in various languages and dont always seem to translate, if any of has any links to english language sites that would be great, i went on the offical site for trondenes and crap was an understatement.

ah thanks for those links, i couldnt get the first one to work off google for some reason

another question i have regarding these huge triple turrets was how the sub surface sections worked, did the entire assembly rotate or was it just the turret, i am assuming its the whole thing cos the ammo lifts wouldn't work, but the artist pic in the book i have shows the sub surface part to be part of the shaft itself, are there any videos or animations of such an emplacement in action?

We've just started on the Ørland area and MKB Ørlandet is first on the list to be put on the website. Not everything is on bunkersite.com, but I'm glad you like it
