AltaFjord and KaaFjord

Ciao all,
Many thanks for the compliments
Bravo Ulrich, your skill about Google earth is SUPER
The view of the KaaFjord you provide do give a very good idea of the perspective the Royal Navy pilots had on board the Hellcat's, Wildcat's, Corsair's, Barracuda and Lancaster's used to attack Tirpitz in there.
Maybe you can also try to have some more very important historical view of the KaaFjord.
If you can fly with your ' skill ' from the inside of KaaFjord, from Mathisdalen into KaaFjord, .. than you will have the perfect view of the Lancaster attacking lanes.
If you can put your ' eyes ' on Alta downtown, on top of the Alta Church bell tower and than look to the left ,... than you will see exactly how Torsten Raaby ( a Norway underground agent ) was looking at the German ships anchored on KaaFjord or coming out for training into RafsBotn, AltaFjord or LangFjord, .... and taking photos of them to be delivered thru Sweden borders into the British hands, to prepare the attack on Tirpitz.
But the Norway underground agents controlling Tirpitz is another very fascinating story, .. and I think it will require a dedicated post to be explained, ... in the future.
Ciao Antonio

Hello All,
I just discovered this website. My congratulations and thanks to all.
Does anyone know how many and what types (88mm/105mm?) of cannons were in the 10 flak batteries (710 Marine Flak Abt) surrounding Kaafjord?
Also, how many and what types of support ships would be present at the anchorage? How many VP's? Other ships?
Any and all details would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rand

Great thread, as are all the Fjord related ones. Having just received a Soldbuch to a member of the Flak ship 'Thetis' it has a handful of photos and I was wondering if anyone can confirm the location. Unfortunately it has no writing on the back but the mountain in the background seems to bear a resemblance of the mountain shown in the photos of Tirpitz at LangFjordBotn.
Do the comparisons match the mountain profile?
