However, in 1941 the building plans for the ships were halted, and Hitler decided to have the guns placed on shore to form part of the Atlantic Wall coastal fortifications. Much of the heavy building work was done by Soviet Russian prisoners of war, and in 1943 the Adolf guns were installed at Trondenes fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-guns-had-a-far-reaching-impact\">The guns had a far reaching impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Five different types of long-range shell had been developed, weighing between 600 kg (1,322 lbs) and 1,035 kg (2,282 lbs) each. The smallest and fastest \u2013 the Adolf shell \u2013 was fired at a speed of 1,050 metres (3,445 feet) per second. With a range of 56 km (35 miles), the Adolf guns were theoretically capable of shooting whales in the feeding grounds off Andenes. They could also hit targets in the port of Narvik. The shell was in the air for over two minutes, and had a maximum trajectory ceiling of 21,800 metres (14 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/003263_-ivind-Arvola_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/003263_-ivind-Arvola_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Adolfkanon i Harstad - (C) Baard L\u00f8ken\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/003263_-ivind-Arvola_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"Adolfkanon i Harstad - (C) Baard L\u00f8ken\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/003030_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-size=\"1202x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/003030_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" alt=\"The Adolf Canon is a powerful monument that reminds us of a sad period of history - (C) Baard L\u00f8ken\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/003030_Baard-Loeken_www.nordnorge.com_.jpg\" data-caption=\"The Adolf Canon is a powerful monument that reminds us of a sad period of history - (C) Baard L\u00f8ken\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Adolfkanon i Harstad &#8211; (C) Baard L\u00f8ken<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: The Adolf Canon is a powerful monument that reminds us of a sad period of history &#8211; (C) Baard L\u00f8ken<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-several-guns-were-located-at-trondenes-now-only-one-remains\">Several guns were located at Trondenes, now only one remains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Four Adolf guns were placed at Trondenes fortress: today only one gun is fully maintained and in working order for conservation purposes, while the other three are painted but not maintained. The Coastal Gun Battery Dietl on the island of Engel\u00f8ya in Steigen was also equipped with guns of the same type, but they were cut up after the war. The big German cross-Channel guns at Sangatte near Calais have also been dismantled. The US coastal artillery set up 100 guns of the same calibre during World War II, which were all destroyed after the war.

With a range from Trondenes, the Adolf guns were able to effectively prevent the enemies of the Third Reich from entering Narvik, and thus protect the iron ore shipments from the port which were vital to the Nazi war effort.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"t2-featured-content-layout alignwide alignwide wp-block-t2-featured-content-layout\" role=\"list\">\n<div class=\"t2-featured-single-post

Navy. The Adolf Gun is, however, open to visitors on group visits.. The tour starts in the bunker beneath the gun, where there is a small museum displaying the huge shell cases and a number of technical instruments from WWII. Visitors are then taken up into the turret to see the enormous firing mechanism, followed by an inspection of the 21-meter long barrel. The bravest are naturally keen to climb in and have their photo taken inside the barrel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-faq-group\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"vnn-faq__title\">Practical about the
