German Atlantic Wall coastal defenses. German forces enter the Crimean Peninsula in World War II.
In opening scene, German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel is giving a "pep talk" to senior officers assembled at the Northern part of the German "Atlantic Wall" defenses in Scandinavia, during World War 2. A German sentry is seen in front of a large coastal fortification bearing the name "Skagerrak." Camera focuses on the barrel of a huge coastal gun. Closeup of the sentry. Troops travel on a small gauge railway carrying canisters of propellant and shells to a unique heavy coastal gun installed , near Kristiansand, Norway, overlooking the Skagerak Strait. (The gun is a 28 cm SK C/34 naval gun, similar to those installed on some battleships. But this one was appropriated from an abandoned German Army super-tank project.) An alarm bell sounds in the fort and soldiers respond. Next, huge coastal gun shells are seen being moved on conveyors to the gun. A team of gun operators recite preparation steps out loud as they adjust range, bearing, and other parameters before firing the weapon. Gunners load a shell into the gun breech, followed by several propellant charges. The breech lowers inside the fort as the gun barrel is raised to desired elevation. The gun is fired.
