The railing for the anti-tank gun is missing.

Note

Additionally it would seem there is a cave card made for the 214. The size of the interiors however does not match completely, but the location does. It is a possibility, that the structure has been modified a bit, as the cave card states that the construction has been completed in 1944 to 1946. At that time its usage has been ammunition storage for the Infantry Regiment 4. Condition of the structure has been good.

Dated: 12.9.1942 & 28.3.1955

- The first inventory in the Harparskog-line was made in 1942, when the Finnish Defence Forces made the first fortification cards for the structures in Harparskog-line. In 1955 the structures in the defensive line were inspected once again and at that time, description part for the original fortification cards were made. The description from 1955 gives very detailed information about the structures, as there's even a full inventory what should be in the structures and what is missing.

- Notes are based on my own personal observations in the defensive line during the years 2005 & 2006.
