EXCERPT FROM THE FLIGHT LOG OF SQUADRON 6, PART II

(History of the Hanko Group, T-22005, Military Archives of Finland) 

4th of November 1941

- Observation and fire control flight: 4.11.1941. Time: 14:40 - 16:35.

- The radio announced that firing had been stopped. Euramo spotted heavy enemy batteries firing from the following locations: The heavy battery of Uddskatan fired from the tip of the Hanko Cape and the railroad battery fired from its northern position. Heavy artillery fire was also spotted from the south side of the airfield. AA-gun fire was received from the following batteries: Gunnarsören, Dödö, Uddskata and Russarö. Additionally the AA-gun batteries located in the west side of Hanko in the area of Kapellhamar opened fire. The effect of enemy artillery fire in our own lines was well visible. Additionally two ships are anchored side by side at the locations of x=3485 y=4010. One ship is anchored in the west side of the island of Russarö.

- The structure 203 was a dugout, which could have protected from shrapnel. Reinforced with wood which are decayed a long time ago or were removed when the Harparskog-line lost its meaning, there is not much visible today from 203. The intersection, which can be seen north of 203 when looking at the map, contains few shallow pits which obviously are remains from dugouts.

- It's just that erosion has consumed nearly all of the recognizable shapes from these pits and thus it is nearly impossible or useless to try to photograph those. The pictures in this case wont tell much, you'll have to see with your own eyes.

- One of the dugout remains is still just and just visible.
