MG-Stellung

MG-Stellung is a German military bunker designation meaning 'machine gun position,' commonly found along Norway's Atlantic coast during the German occupation in World War II. These defensive structures were part of the extensive fortification network built by Nazi Germany to defend against potential Allied invasions. The bunker type typically housed machine gun emplacements and provided protected firing positions for coastal defense. Norway's strategic location made it a key target for German military planners, resulting in the construction of thousands of bunkers and fortifications throughout the country during the occupation period from 1940 to 1945.
