I was asked if I can help with the necessary information.
A local group wants to know more about its history during the war. As far as they have little information.

I'm looking for information about bunkers around the town of Sauda, Rogaland, Norway.
In defense of the Smelteverk, bunkers should have been built. It is possible that one has been found, although I do not have a picture of it yet to confirm this. They think of an observation bunker. This must be above the power station next to the water pipes that come from the mountains.

Any help is welcome.

Greetings Ron Bakker

I made a quick sweep using aerial photography from 1971 over the area. It seems to some remains of buildings (from the war or related to the activity at the factory ?) and something that looks like two light flak emplacements. https://bit.ly/2WMWVFI

Sauda seems to have little or no Flak by may 1945, perhaps the Flak units were removed before the war ended?
