Per Albin Line

The Per Albin Line was a 500 kilometer long line of fortifications erected during World War II around the coast of southern Sweden to protect the country from a possible German invasion. It was nicknamed after then Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson and stretched from Halland across Skne to Blekinge and consisted of two defense lines:
  • First defense line: machine-gun armed concrete bunkers along the shore (several of which still remain)
  • Second defense line: armed troops 300 meters inland behind barbed wire, some in concrete bunkers.
