FORTIFICATION CARD FOR THE STRUCTURE 222

 

Structure number: 222

 

Structure

Machine gun nest, tunnel for a platoon and casing for the periscope (1 cast gun chamber).

Sector center line

152 degrees.

State of readiness (1942)

Inner walls mined and the front wall of the machine gun chamber has been cast. One gas tight front door and two gas tight interior doors are missing.

Remark (1942)

Floor has not been filled. The mounting for the machine gun has been removed.

Remark (1955)

Mined. The machine gun nest, stairs in the nest, few interior walls and the floor of the accommodation area has been cast. The bunker is very damp. Equipment is insufficient and unclear.

Note

The machine gun nest didn't seem any damper in the summer of 2006, than any other bunker. The situation of course might be different during the autumn and spring. The remark about the equipment being insufficient and unclear appears in the equipment inventory.

Dated: 15.9.1942 & 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.
