I decided to watch this film after seeing a YouTube video about the Oscarsborg Fortress and its part in stalling the German invasion of April 1940 (Operation Weserübung).
The heavy cruiser Blücher led the invasion force that was directed to capture Oslo and in doing so also capture the King and government. The Oscarsborg Fortress was ignored by the German invasion force as it was only seen as a training establishment with outdated weaponry, however the Blücher was hit by two 28cm shells and then two torpedoes which ultimately sank her and turned the invasion force around.
A very well made and interesting film.

If you watch Jaws backwards, it's a heart warming story about a shark that spits out so many people that they have to open a beach.
