Turret in profile

The battery actually never fired at the enemy, and generally speaking, fired a full charge only three times - the first time in September 1943 during test trials, the second time in October 1945 during the training of the Norwegian gun crews, and the third - in June 1953. Training Norwegians, by the way, took place under the leadership of German officers who served on this battery during the occupation. Since the survivability of barrels of this gun's caliber is extremely low - only 300 shots with a full charge, a plug-in liner with a caliber of 88 mm was usually used for training shots.
