Breiviknes Fort

[CluckSalad]

Attached is a layout well a layout to the best of ability of Breiviknes Fort, google earth and the forts equipment was basically all I had to go on. I was wondering if anyone knew how to make this fort more accurate? Definitely would love some feedback! If any member is interested I have done nearly 15 coastal forts in Norway c1979. My perferred way of contact is discord, CluckSalad#7206. Other method is email, clucksalad@gmail.com. Anyway if anyone has served at any of the Coastal forts or has any information on them or how they operated or basically any information I definately would love to know!

Breiviknes Fort dates back to the beginning of the 1950s. When I was first called up as a reservist during a military exercise in 1979, the fort had been recently upgraded with Bofors 75 mm guns, new underground installations with ops room. signal office and officers' quarters. Breiviknes was never operational on a permanent basis, but used during exercises. It was also regularly used by Grøtsund Fort for firing practice. Continuous expansion of the fort from late 1970s to beginning og the 1990s required a permanent staff of 10-20 people. A vast system of underground tunnels for close defense purposes was built in the late 1980s.

Missing on your screenshot is a search light to the east of the fort, positioned close to the shoreline. My last call up was in 1988 so further details are hard to remember.

Google Maps are pretty useless for this purpose. You should use 1881 kart instead (especially the historic aerial photos are useful), or FINN kart.

Here are some objects marked at Breiviknes. I'm not 100% sure of all of them, hence some ?'s (click on the red markers to see the text):
