Sodem? I saw them!!

Haha det er han læreren fra Borgen Skole som er sjefen :D

I just love the fact that this absolute mad man Eriksen, was asked if they were really going to shoot with live ammunition. Eriksen answered yes, before adding: "Either I will be court-martialed, or I will be a decorated war hero. FIRE!''

Where are all the black people? Norwegians are so racist.

A Dutch KLM pilot say this all happening at Fornebu airport. He say the landing of the German planes and knew this was a new kind of war tactic. Soon after he went to the German commander and said he was Dutch and neutral and liked to go back to Holland. Looking really a bit dumb and overly friendly. So he could go. When he was back, he immediately went to the Dutch High Command and told his experience. So all airports around The Hague were heavenly armed and defended. So the surprise attack on 10th of may 1940 ended in a temporary German defeat, costing about 250 planes. In Norway the Kriegsmarine lost many ships and in Holland they lost a large part of the airlanding airforce. This helped England later on.

Here i thought, that giant aircraft Carrier ijn Shinano have the most short lived service in history.

A very good example of "Fuck around and find out"

That cannon sound soo good.

Germany beat Britain to the invasion of Norway

Always that fake scream. Can't the sound engineers do better?

"Enten krigshelt eller krigsrett"

I think in reality the torpedoes did most of the damage, as it kept going forward until it passed by the torpedo battery. It's really nice to see that depicted, as for a long time most people assumed it was sunk in 2 shots from the artillery.

A film about Colonel Birger Eriksen and the sinking of the Blücher is just now being filmed in Norway 😀

A torpedo is a torpedo.

I love how he is able to reasure the man under his command and say we're doing this with one simple "on my command," good dialouge

Were they really wearing dark green dress in the snow ?

Found the intersection of WW1 Austrian weapons and WW2

Great example of how good leadership produces the right results by powering through hesitation and inexperience.

There is a big diffrence between those that that fight for pay and those who fight for what they believe in !

1. mom always looks at me in the mirror when i scratch my jock or ass in the back seat i hate her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what ya get for invading another country.

1:26 that's leadership.

Pity they did not do the same thing to the many British navy infringements of Norwegian neutrality. Had the Germans waited another 10 hours the British would have already occupied Norway. This film is exceptionally one-sided and distorted.

They really blew her to hell!

Imagine my grief when finding out Day of Infamy is dead right as I wanted to get into this mod! Hopefully mod anniversary dates are enough to fill a server or two to play. This has to be the most faithful WW1 action game ever made.

One of the most interesting and engaging films ever made (The King's Choice) about factual happenings during WW2, this particular scene, with it's ominous soundtrack, is the epitome of great film-making. Bravo!

No matter how old it is, an 11-inch shell is still an 11-inch shell, and it _will_ ruin your day if it hits you.

Imagine what the Germans on that ship must be thinking when that light hits their ship.

Brave men the Norwegians

1:39 really captures how powerfull that cannon was. the sound of the pressure release is epic

This was a superbly accurate cinematic recreation of the Battle of Drobak sound. Cross check it against the historical records and you will see how well they did. Fantastic scene in this movie. Almost like going back in time and witnessing it firsthand.

This was a great movie and you all should watch it

How did the germans not notice the 1st shell but they notice the 2nd shell and the fire? Someone explain this!

cool movie

Now that i think of it more, this is exactly what happened with Russia invading Ukraine -they thought they could just waltz in with superior numbers expecting no resistance

My one and only complaint about this scene is that they left out Col. Birger Eriksen's amazing quote when the XO voices his concern about identifying their targets first: "I will either be decorated or court-martialled for this. Fire!"

Sodem!!! I can hear them speaking German.

It is sad that the film does not show the feat of the patrol boat Pol III, which was the first to detect the German squadron, raise the alarm, and began a fight with it, although she was alone.

Synd att norrmännen inte hade mera snödräkter, hade gett en större fördel i defensiv krigföring.

Those Dingbots done it again

"See that cruiser?" "Yes sir" *Kaboom*

Doesn’t the officer in real life say “ Either I will be decorated or I will be court martialled.”

I’m convinced the kreigsmarine had no clue how to operate

"What if were wrong?" "On my command " Nuff said❤

The operators got a gun to shot, a torpedo to launch, a fort to protect, a country to defend, and hope

That is why Norway lost

Everything about this video is pure perfection

Imagine being on that warship and being spotted by the lighttower... fuuuuuuck

At the 2:00 mark you can see three additional batteries fire and hit their mark on the battleship as well

My father in law was from western Norway, was 20 years old when they invaded in 1940. The stories of heroism and sacrifice you never hear about, like the Norwegian who was made to drive a busload of German troops, and instead veered off the road and over a cliff.
