German fortifications in Norway, sorted by county:
(Note: The battery names are how they were written in original papers, and indicates
usually the location of the battery). I have only mentioned the main artillery and armament
of the fortifications. Listing all the weapons that were on each site will be too comprehensive.
Some places, where appropriate, I have mentioned other types of weapons used as well.
There were usually flamethrowers, sMG's, Pak's, Flak-guns of various caliber and Kwk's
at the batteries in addition to the main artillery.
