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.
