Flak emplacements/equipment +++
These are not common ones!
This 10,5cm Skc/32 Was in use by the Norwegian army as coastal artillery until a few years ago. The gun itself is in a magnificent mint condition! Every little detail is still in place!!!
In the 1950`s, the Norwegian factory "Kongsberg Vaapenfabrik" bought a load of these guns from Denmark. This particular gun was brought from the "Flakbatterie Femhöje" near "Festung Hanstholm" in 1959. After a little modification, it was placed here!
It would be really interesting if one of our members have got photos from the original emplacements in Denmark

Welcome Kurt
Thanks for your corretion!
According to the book "Kystartilleri i Danmark 1940-45" , this battery got an additional 4th 10,5 cm gun in Nov. 1942 (In addition to 3 placed in April 1940)
Do you know if their location is still intact over there?
Here`s a few more photos!

Someone should go and get those pieces of the original German Coastal gun and repair it. It looks fairly good.

Erik - you are quite right. The first three guns were 10,5 cm Flak L/45 - and then there were added a 10,5 cm S.K. C/32 in 8,8 cm M.P.L. C/30
The guns were in open emplacements with rail for nets.
Feuerleit was a 6 mtr rangefinder (S) Dreiwag- And there was for the Battery a Funkmessgerät, Würtzburg Dora. In addition to that there were another extra Feuerleit with 6 mtr rangefinder (S) with Flak Kommandogerät 41 together with a Funkmessgerät Freya with 2 antennasystems for side and altitude.
As the open emplacements were of concrete, and Feuerleit, crew and ammunitionbunkers also of concrete ( Heavy ) and the bunker for the radar were concrete ( leight ) with a leight couppola. There were maschingun and morterbunkers for selfdefence also in concrete, tobruks and Vf. ( leight )
I have heard that the "Søfartsmuseum" in Esbjerg have a series of pictures from wartime, I will check - and see if it is possible to obtain a copy of theese.
So I will assume that there is something to see at the site, also now in 2004. I have not been there myself, bun as there only is approx. 100 km. from where I live, i can go there and take som pictures in the near future.
I think this posting is very interesting, so - everybody - carry on. !!!

These guns along with the 12,7cm Skc/34 was the main armnament in the Norwegian coastal artillery for a long time! Today, only a few have been left in their post-war emplacements.... I know the location of some 7-8 Skc/32 and 3 Skc/34 guns today. I guess around 50 to 100 guns of this type has been scrapped during the 80 & 90`s.......
The gun I posted photos of barely made it after a long negotiation between the army and some local interests.
Interesting info you added Kurt!
Really strange with this Würzburg Dora...... I see this listed for allmost every flak battery in Denmark, but I have never seen this listed for any heavy batteries in Norway.......?

Here is a M-195 converted for use with 10.5cm Skc/32. 4 guns from this battery were scrapped in the early 90`s!
A little off-topic, but I`ll also throw along the rare firecontrolpost of these rare gunpositions!
A S-414, the only one in Norway! This bunker was built without the 3rd floor on top (Same convertion as MKB Noordwijk, Netherlands)
