Can somebody give me the rundown on that behemoth turret in post #24?
Yeesh!

I believe it was a German battleship gun that was repurposed for use in a coastal artillery battery. If that’s the case, it’s a 40.6 cm SK C/34, possibly one of the three guns the Germans used at Battery Lindemann near Sangatte, France.
