Hello Everybody,

I'm searching for informations and plans of the bunker in Laksevåg:
http://www.nuav.net/ubaatbyen.html
http://bunkersite.com/locations/norway/ ... gen-1.html

Similar ones (3) were built by Kriegsmarine in Gdynia (Gotenhafen) and had 3,7cm flaks on top.
It's in navy port and access is restricted however some photos of it are avaiable.
I'd like to compare both construction which seems to be Kriegsmarine design of unknown type...even the name of regelbau is unknown.
Any phots and plans are warmly welcome.

Kind regards
@ndrew

Layout of Flak/Luftschutz bunkers in Gdynia-nr 2,3,4+google screens.
Common features between Gdynia and Laksevåg bunker are obvious.
Come on anybody knows anything???

Hello Natter,

thank You very much for Your effort!, good to see this bunker in good state :)
It has some interesting features that are not visible in Gdynia. What bothers me are stairs going into lower level-interesting.
Were You inside perhaps? I wonder if the local historical assocation using this bunker has any plans? mayby fire evauation plan on the wall inside?
Below some photos from Gdynia from my last Ebay auction:

It's embarrasing, but I haven't got to visit the museum yet... :rodme:
I'm planning a trip to UBB Bruno as soon as my work-schedule permits. Maybe I can make time to see this bunker inside then if the museum is open.

Here are some aerial-views as well:

Hei!
Er det noen som vet hvor mange Luftschutzbunker ble bygget i Norge under krigen?
