Hits at least from naval 88mm, buildings still standing today. I have always admired the accuracy of German gunners when they fired at Borgströmin tupakkatehdas, the tall building at right. And also the guts of the Finnish workers who kept on firing even if German coastal battleship Beowulf and maybe one DD fired at them from almost point blank range. Or so the story was told to me many years ago. I'm sorry for the poor quality of the picture.
Hi Juha
i had not heard of that ship name before, but I suspect it was a captured norwegian Coast Defence vessel, armed from memory with 9.4" guns.
Where exactly is this photo taken Is it one of the Finnish islands (Aland islands?????)
