Gun turret seen from the gun pit. The Framework for the camouflage nets is clearly seen. Unlike gun turrets mounted on ships, land turrets did not cover the entire firing pit. This made the large firing pit vulnerable to bombardments, especially from the air. In addition, the turret’s armour was only 5 cm thick, so it only protected the gun and gunners against shrapnel and small arms fire. On ship´s turrets, guns of the same type had armour plating as much as 36 cm thick. An electric motor was used to adjust the guns traverse ansd range, though in an emergency this could be done by hand. Loading, on the other hand, was manual and called for a team of 12 strong men.
