pre-invasion defenses at Stavanger
Posted: 09 Apr 2013 20:51
I am an amateur historian and designer of conflict simulations. I am currently working on a project about the German invasion of Norway in 1940 and am hoping someone who frequents this site may be able to assist with my research.
I am trying to find information about the Norwegian coastal defenses which were in place BEFORE the Germans invaded (in other words, those defenses which Norway constructed before the invasion to defend itself, *NOT* those facilities built by the Germans after they had already occupied the country). I have been able to obtain reasonably detailed data about the coastal artillery sites at most of the major Norwegian port cities, including Trondheim, Bergen, Kristiansand, the approaches to Oslo, and the proposed but still incomplete defenses planned for Narvik. However, I have been unable to find any conclusive information about whether there were (or were not) any coastal artillery emplacements in or around Stavanger.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance or information anyone might provide.
Thank you.
