Description
The German Peninsula and the coastal battery 2./517 Petsamo Neu represent important artifacts of World War II history in the region. However, before diving into the historical details, let's consider the context of the events of that time.
During World War II, the northern regions of Europe, including the German Peninsula and the port of Liinahamari, played an important strategic role. The Barents Sea and its surrounding areas have been the object of attention of various parties to the conflict due to its geopolitical and economic importance. Located on the Liinakhamari Peninsula, the port was of strategic importance for the supply and movement of military resources in the region.
Coastal Battery 2./517 Petsamo Neu, although unfinished, is a testament to the intense war efforts undertaken by Nazi Germany in the area. The German army tried to create a powerful defense system, including batteries with turret guns, anti-aircraft installations, as well as fortifications against landing and other defensive structures.
One of the key elements of the defense was the 15 cm SKC/28 turret guns, designed for firing at sea and ground targets. These guns, developed in 1928, were widely used on Kriegsmarine ships and in coastal defense. Although the battery was not completed, its installations, like other defensive structures, indicate how seriously Germany took the threat on the northern front.
After the end of the war, the battery and other military installations on the German Peninsula were under the control of the Soviet Union. Some of them were dismantled or destroyed, while others continued to serve military purposes in the post-war years.
Today, the battery and other remains of military fortifications attract the attention of researchers, historians and history buffs who are trying to understand not only the military events of that time, but also their impact on modern history and politics. These objects remind us of the complexity and scale of hostilities in northern Europe during the Second World War and their impact on the modern world.
