Description

This research is automated and may contain errors.

HKB 36/973 Framnes is a military bunker complex located near the town of Framnes in Northern Norway. The designation 'HKB' (Heeres-Küsten-Batterie) indicates it was a German Army coastal artillery battery constructed during the Second World War, following the German occupation of Norway which began in 1940. The region of Northern Norway, including the Ofoten area where these coordinates are situated, was heavily fortified by German forces as part of the Atlantic Wall defenses to protect naval routes and potential Allied invasion points.

The specific design, armament, and current condition of this particular battery are not detailed in the available historical summaries, though such sites typically featured reinforced concrete gun emplacements, ammunition bunkers, and crew accommodations integrated into the coastal terrain. Today, the structure exists as a relic of the 1940-1945 occupation period, a subject of interest for military heritage and urban exploration in the Norwegian landscape.
