This is the only German-built 🇩🇪 coastal battery complex from WW2 in Lithuania. 🇱🇹
It housed two identical units, a fire control post, an ammunition depot and a power plant.
Four anti-ship 15 cm caliber SKL / 45 cannons with a firing distance of 17 km were installed in it.
After the German invasion of Norway and Denmark in 1940, the Memel-Nord cannons were relocated to these countries.
In 1944, 12.8 cm caliber Flak 40 M anti-aircraft cannons were installed in Memel-Nord, used both for anti-air and anti-ground purposes, with a firing distance of 21 km.
