What a fantastic and fascinating video, a story told with great passion and knowledge. There's a lesson as well. Don't mess with the descendents of vikings when they are defending their homes and king. Thank you for this excellent video.

I hope to visit the Oscarsborg fortress and all the museums in the near future. The sinking of The Blücher is such a fascinating chain of events and one of my favorites in WWII history.

[@oscarsborgmuseer4014]

[@jonaskloster1562]

Great video, I hope you make more in the future! I highly recommend the movie "Kongens nei" / "The King's choice". It has a epic scene from this battle.

[@philiprufus4427]

Thank You,I was born only a few years after War 11 and met many adults as a child who always spoke well of the Norwegian Forces. In many parts of The Highlands of Scotland, ' The Norwegian Boys' were well remembered. Sadly I am to old now to visit your museum,I would love to. The area too, looks fabulous !

[@maxflight777]

*For anyone curious, please may I recommend “the King’s Choice”*

[@mortensvinndal2128]

«The King’s Choice» has a very short sequence from the battle of the Drøbak Narrows. I like the part with the searchlight and the cruiser emerging from the fog. The part covering the situation in the Main battery is however not correct.

[@Viking88Power]

Very interesting

[@oscarsborgmuseer4014]

Thank you for sharing our interest in Oscarsborg fortress! All the best from Morten and Gry.

[@Clipgatherer]

The video is somewhat amateurish (sorry!), but still gives a detailed, comprehensive account of Norway's “moment of glory” in World War II.

[@oscarsborgmuseer4014]

When it comes to making films, we are amateurs. But, we know the story about Oscarsborg, and during the covid shut down we chose this channel to reach people. Thank you for watching! Best wishes from Gry and Morten.

[@henrikmadsen6446]

I am no expert on German, English or Norwegian. But title quote "The Blücher" seem very much of. I would expect "Der", "Die" or "Das Blücher". Do we have an expert in chat or at Oscarsborg Musser?? (which I believe should have capital M in "Museer" in thier YT name)

[@oscarsborgmuseer4014]

Hi and thank you for your questions. As this video is in English, we chose to let the title reflect that and write the "Blücher" also in English. Oscarsborg museer is written with a small m in the second word. Most places both names are written in capitals. But when we write it with both large and small letters, the correct way to write it is Oscarsborg museer.
