The map shows Hessfjord on Ringvassøy, north of Tromsø. To my knowledge there is no remains from the Germans there. But on the island Reinøy(east of), battery HKB 8/971 Langsund was put up in November 1944, at Stakkvik, with 4 10.5cm K332(f). Nothing much left to see.
Hessfjord was used by the Royal Norwegian Navy as hiding place for the seaplanes operating from Skattøra from September 1939 until June 1940.
