Hi Guys. I am now living in Lakselv in Northern Norway where there are lots of coastal defences. Unfortunately none of them are intact since the retreating Germans destroyed them all in 1944.
There seems to be very little information about any of these defences that I can find.

HKB 5/971 Börselvnes (873)
Built in July 41, evacuated Nov 44.
Equipped with 4 x 15,5 cm sFH414(f), range 11 000 m.
2 x 20mm anti-aircraft guns,
2 x 5 cm anti-tank guns,
Mg/mitr,
Flamethrower and searchlight.
A total of just over 1,300 personnel mines were laid. Several strong barricades were built, among others in the area of ​​Børelv chapel, at Mokkay and Silfar

If anyone has any more info or photos I would love to hear from you. Thank you.
