The fighting is methodical and vicious,
but the commandos successfully cleared
the German headquarters in the hotel,
taking dozens of prisoners.
With most of the garrison defeated, the
commandos begin mopping up the remaining
enemy further north in the village and
finish demolishing the fish oil
facilities.
The British and Norwegians face stubborn
resistance from a building nicknamed the
red warehouse.
To solve the problem, three commandos
rush the building and brave enemy fire
to set fire to the building.
The German soldiers inside evacuate into
the street, where they are gunned down
by concentrated small arms fire.
