MKB 5/510 Brömneset

MKB (Marine Küsten Batterie) 5/510 is situated directly outside Bodø in Nordland. It was operational in October 1940 and were armed with four 15cm guns with a range up to 16000 meter. I believe it was ww1 uboat guns that were used at this fortification. There were also five 2cm Flak guns, a 5cm KwK a 4,7 PaK , four searchlights and two mortar positions. In addition there were a Freya radar and several Mg positions , fixed flamethrowers and close defence trenches. Several different Regelbau are scattered around the hill and inside the hill is a large bunker system.

A group of local enthusiasts has restored parts of the complex and the bunkers inside the hill is often used for concerts, parties and similar. I am sorry for the somewhat blurry pics, but I am playing around with a new camera and hasn`t mastered it completely yet.
