Pictures taken from a german coastal defence in Norway. part of a large complex.

I wonder if anyone recognizes the gun, and the name of this weapon and if you know if there exists a 1/35 model of this:)

I wish I could help you, but I have no idea, but here is one of the photos.
Here's the link to Roy photos, there are several others in his gallery of this gun, maybe on of the artitery guns could help.

Out of curiosity, did the Germans fortify Norway in the same way they did the Atlantic Wall?

Where abouts in Norway is this complex?

Man... I'd love some Brit figures in Norwegian Campaign gear :-) :-)

There were a slew of coastal defense batteries set up by the Germans using their own, and captured weapons. While the Norwegians had Krupp 21 and 28cm guns in place, this is definitely neither one. The Germans employed mainly 10,5 cm, 15.0 cm, and 15.5 cm guns.
The one in the pic is not a 10.5 for sure, and it does not appear to be an sFH414, so best guess is a K 16.
