Norway was invaded by Germany on April 9, 1940. After just a week or two the Deutsche Wehrmacht came to the Justnes farm 8 km. east of the city of Kristiansand, and started their work to establish a heavy Flak anti aircraft battery. The soldiers and gun technicians from Luftwaffe moved in to the farm house, and set up the commanders office in one of the living rooms, and their sleeping area at the high attic. During the five years of occupation Wehrmacht built approximately thirty bunkers and thirty barracks on the land of the Justnes farm. Some of those are still there. On the picture you see the Flakkommandant to the right, reading the local newspaper Fædrelandsvennen. They are sitting in front of the farm house enjoying the nice weather of summer 1940.
