This is a Then&Now YouTube video by a group called SNAFU DOCS.
If you do a search for them on YouTube you'll come up with about a dozen videos.
It would be great to do a walk about with them.

The are pics below are from the Warfare History Network website.
Great articles and excellent pictures.
I print the articles to pdf’s and read them at my leisure.
This before and after is from “Assault on Oslo: The Naval Disaster in the Drøbak Strait”

It doesn't say so but it sure looks to be the same gun.
And the damage it caused

NZ members on a channel bridge in Venice, 1945.
I saw a doc on Youtube (sorry can't remember what it was called) about the German invasion of Norway and that was the gun that sank the Blucher. So you are correct.
B-17 Flying Fortress is on display under the Eiffel tower, July 31, 1945.
View of the beach, Étretat, France.
Nice post Louis.
I always enjoy these before and after's.
I looked up Etretat and found it was north east of Le Havre and outside the Normandy invasion area.
I took a “drive” around Etretat using Google maps.
It is a very pretty area. I’d very much would like to go there.
I found a bunker that is still on the beach but it doesn’t have the view that your picture above has.
Moving further down the beach is where you would get that view but there was no bunker.
I did notice however a concrete patch in the cliff wall. At first I thought that was where the bunker was but in the sepia photo with the gun in it it looks like there is a slot in the cliff face where the bunker may have been bunker and figure that must be the where the picture was taken from.
Thanks again Louis. It was fun driving around France if only virtually.

U.S. soldiers at the Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, April 16, 1945, during the GI memorial service for President FDR.
Piazza Venezia & Via del Corso, Rome, 1944. Euphoria for liberation.
American soldier reunites with his wife at train station New Hope, Pennsylvania, 1945.
What a fitting name for the station. Love the expression of the couple next to the reunited pair.
Even the gal on the bench is enjoying the moment.
You know it's a nice town with kind people when it has a Puppy Courtesy Bowl.
