Sniper protection Skanskvarns luftvärnsställning
1939–45, Skanskvarn's anti-aircraft position. The facility was in ”sharp position” during the contingency years 1939 to 1945. The main task of Skanskvarn's anti-aircraft position was to defend the Skansbron and Skanstullbridge (which was then under construction) as well as the important railway connection Årstabron (together with tivoliberget's anti-aircraft position). If the defense had broken down, it was the idea of blowing up the Årsta Bridge before the enemy could use it. Today (2011) there are two clear artillery pieces locations left while the rest have been demolished or relaid//Wikipedia.
