Hanko Front Museum: Irma bunker

Our finest exhibit is the recently restored Irma bunker which still has the scent of tar. It is located at Harparskog approximately 5 kilometres from the Hanko Front Museum and can be visited on summer weekends and by appointment. Most of the items in Bunker 302, also known as Irma, are original objects. There are Finnish Army blue and grey blankets on the 16 beds. The bunker also a 45 mm anti-tank gun and machine gun, which are in original condition. Irma has an authentic atmosphere and it gives a good idea of life at the front during the war.
The Irma Bunker is on the heavily fortified line of defence that passed through Harparskog as part of the Finnish system of defence against the Soviet naval base on Hankoniemi Cape.
