Do not speak.....unless it improves on Silence.

A good teacher opens the door.....you must enter yourself.

Here are some comments to help you understand some of the views

1st clip is approaching Maloy from the SE. Ragsundo battery would have been directly behind me at this point. The battery fired intermittently on HMS Kenya throughout the raid. HMS Kenya would have been somewhere out to the left. Maaloy island is just visible as a dark strip in front of the town

I've highlight the Church and Red House in one clip. The Ulvesund Hotel was just below the red house and the fiercest fighting took place in this area

The next clip shows Seternes Point where 4 troop landed. This is a view from Maaloy Island where the German battery was.
