Hitler's teeth
Brusand still has the anti-tank obstacles erected along the beach during World War II. These are called Hitler's teeth (Norwegian: Hitler-tennene or Hitlers tenner), and were erected by prisoners of war and other forced labor, in order to stop an allied invasion of Norway. The Germans found it likely that an allied assault would happen on the beaches of Jæren, both for its close proximity to United Kingdom and because of the topography. They are made of stone and concrete and run for several kilometers with up to 4 rows of obstacles. The Norwegian prisoners sabotaged several "teeth" by mixing more sand into the concrete in order to make them weaker. [1]
