Russian Guns in France? Marine Küsten Batterie Oldenburg

StP18 M.K.B. Oldenburg is north of Calais and was constructed by Nazi Germany in 1942 by German construction Specialists, conscripted military personnel, slave labour and volunteers.
A batterie of two 24cm S.K.L/50 guns originally from a Russian battleship "Rurik" which was in the harbour of Libau, Latvia, and was captured when the port was taken. The guns were removed and modified from 25.4cm to 23.80cm to be able to use standard German ammunition. Then sent to the island of Borkum of the German coast as a coastal batterie. In 1940 they were moved to Calais. 1942 casemates were built around them by the Todt Organisation.
