The Germans in Norway burned all their maps before the surrender in May 45. There are bunkers all over the place, and undoubtedly several that's been forgotten.
The Germans seems to have had a pathological need to swiss-cheese any bit of rock they came across basically. They weren't kidding around with 'Festung Norwegen'.

This one is in the center of Oslo. It was used by the Norwegian intelligence service during the cold war, but later abandoned.

lol like we could muster 4 full divisions to arm anyways. I know we burned through a shitload of cold war stock ammo between 2000-2005

There's stories like that about the russians with mountain bunkers full of fresh T-55s and literal mountains of shells

A world war/cold war generates stupid amounts of stuff.
When I was serving my conscription in northern Norway in 1999/2000 some of us still got issued Marshall aid field shovels stamped 'US 1944'. And 'new'A/N PRC 77 radios straight from the mobilization stocks.

Not like today when we buy some new AT missile system and a whopping 2 missiles per launcher. :allears:
