Battery Helsingborg

Machine-translated from the Swedish article

Batteri Helsingborg (before 1971: Batteri Hälsingborg) was a fixed coastal battery in north-western Skåne from 1940 to 1990. The battery was built in record time after the German invasion of Denmark on 9 April 1940, to defend the narrowest part of the Øresund at Helsingborg. As a result of the German invasion of Denmark on 9 April 1940, Operation Weserübung, a completely new strategic situation arose for the defence of Skåne and southern Sweden.
