Stockholm Defence District

[1] Through the Defence Act of 1942, defence districts were also introduced into the Peace Organization at the same time as the army divisional and military district staffs were merged into military commanding staffs (militärbefälsstaber), with both operational and territorial responsibility.

Fo 44's staff site was initially in the Royal Guards Wing of the Stockholm Palace, then at different addresses (during the spring of 1940 at Hotel Carlton) but from September 1942 in the property at Storgatan 30 at Östermalm.

[4] Of the battle plan from 1952, it shows that Fo 44's main task according to the military district order was to avvärja ("averting") the so-called Stenstaden ("City of Stone"), that is the center of Stockholm.

[5] From 1957 to 1971, the Stockholm Defence District's staff was located in an underground facility which they intended to use during wartime.

The most important bridges in Stockholm and across the Södertälje Canal would be defended, which was also the case with three apparently very secret facilities with numerical code designations, furthermore the Nackasändaren and the facilities of the National Defence Radio Establishment at Lovön.

He would protect the national administration and the headquarters until they left the defence district, whereby Stockholm Palace, the Government Offices, the Military Staff Building, the Defence Materiel Administration and the Bastionen staff building would be defended.

Instead, the authority I 1/Fo 44 was formed located to Svea Life Guard's chancellery building in Kungsängen.
