After German forces captured the Polish city of Gdynia during World War II, fighting continues in the nearby fortified ports of Oksywie and Hel. The choppy waters of the Bay of Gdansk (Danzig) are shown off the side of a ship, followed by a large group of German sailors onboard moving around on deck. Smoke trails off the back of the ship, likely from a recently-fired gun. A ship is shown far away on the water flashing its light in the hazy conditions. On land, a group of German soldiers fire a World War I era 77mm Model M1896 cannon. Back on the water, a soldier and the camera look through a sighting periscope towards land. Smoke rises from the hillside in the distance across the harbor, and the sound of heavy artillery can be heard. From behind a wall, German soldiers fire a machine gun back out towards the port. Densely-populated hillside with thick smoke rising. More artillery is fired. A soldier fires from the shadows of a large structure. A ship, either the German Deutschland-class SMS Schleswig-Holstein or her sister ship the SMS Schlesien, is seen firing at the fortifications. One of the shots hits high on the hill in a densely populated area. A soldier with binoculars around his neck looks through the sighting periscope. Huge plumes of smoke rise from massive fires visible on the fort walls.
