Hiking

In 1941, the Kriegsmarine began building a gun battery north of the port of Skagen, at the northernmost point of Denmark. The battery consisted of four Danish 120 mm guns with a range of about 10 km. In 1943, the area was heavily fortified and four of the eight guns were moved from their open positions to gun bunkers (M272). Ammunition bunkers were also built, as well as bunker systems for the operating crews, fire control (M162a) and close defense.
