The army coastal batteries were installed to secure nearby ports and especially the Tanafjord.
Three batteries of the 14.5 cm K 405 (f) cannon covered individual sectors on the Nordkinn peninsula in this area.
The HWB shelters - Heinrich Wellblech - which were built with concrete cast into the rock, served the soldiers as shelters or hiding places during air raids.
The HWB shelters did not have any bomb-proof protection, which is why they are not bunkers!
