Heavy Coastal Artillery Norway
In Norway, coastal artillery began to be built at the beginning of the 20th century. During World War II, the country was occupied 1940-1945 by Germany and became part of the Atlantic Wall. The Germans built a great many facilities in the country.
After the end of the war, a number of the German installations were retained and became part of the Norwegian coastal artillery:
They invested during the Cold War in modern facilities, including 7.5 cm (see more under Light Coastal Artillery) and 12 cm systems from Swedish Bofors.

40,6 cm SK C/34
Adolf cannon, actually 40.6 cm Schiffskanone Construktionsjahr 1934 (40.6 cm SK C/34) is a German cannon with caliber 40.6 cm, constructed in 1934. The cannon was planned to be mounted in twin turrets, Drehlafette C/34 (Drh .L). C/34) on battleships. However, the ships were never built, and the guns that had been successfully manufactured were released for use as coastal artillery. For this purpose, a separate armored turret/low deck was developed for the installation of individual guns in concrete bunkers, the Bettungschießgerüst C/39 (Bsg. C/39). The gun’s full coastal artillery designation was 40.6 cm SK C/34 in Bsg C/39.
