FORTIFICATION CARD FOR THE STRUCTURE 40, a & b

 

Structure number: 40, a &  b

 

Structure

Two open gun positions for 76/50-guns.

Sector center line

 

State of readiness (1942)

Mined.

Remark (1942)

 

Remark (1955)

Two quarries 5x5x3 meters in size.

Note

The sub-letters a) and b) indicates the two separate gun positions. The remark from the year 1955 is an interesting one, as that comment most likely indicates that the persons who made the description part for the fortification cards only found the structure 424, but didn't climb uphill and thus never actually found the gun positions. Structure 424 is the accommodation dugouts for the gun crews. The size of the remains matches to the remark from the year 1955.

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.
