FORTIFICATION CARD FOR THE STRUCTURE 224, a & b

 

Structure number: 224, a & b

 

Structure

(Machine gun bunker and accommodation area for a half-platoon), machine gun nest and observation cupola.

Sector center line

State of readiness (1942)

Machine gun nest is cast, half-platoon machine gun bunker mined.

Remark (1942)

The nest has a front door, but the mounting for the machine gun is missing.

Remark (1955)

Machine gun nest is cast. The platoon bunker is mined. The machine gun nest will be renovated in 1955. No equipment has been acquired so far.

Note

The comment from 1955 about renovating the nest is interesting. Renovating probably hasn't advanced from the planning stages, as the nest doesn't seem too renovated. Apparently there has been some idea, to get some equipment for the nest, because the inventory mentions, that no equipment hasn't been acquired so far. The sector center lines are missing from the fortification card.

Dated: 11.9.1942 & 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.
