Sevastopol, Fort Paul

I wanted to ask if anyone could give some more info to this picture.



I know the exact location in sevastopol and that the building on the bottom is Fort Paul,
but thats about it.

Also, anybody has some more pics about that penninsula? Especially pics from FortPaul (ww2 or nowadays) would be interesting.

Here is a satellite image of the same piece of land (from Google Maps).

yep, that i found already

hm, some other question

in the top right part of the pic, is that a ship wreck?
I read something about destroyed ships in the sevastopol harbour but cant seem to find the info anymore.

"Dora" and "Karl" were used there...
Sevastopol got a bunch of attention from OKW.

...And now, 16 months later, I input 2 links for videos showing "Dora" and "Karl" in action.
In the days I was child my grandfather was telling me about "Dora", and how after every unleashed shell, you could feel an earthquake kilometers away, because of the huge recoil.

From this movie we learn that the only time when "Dora" saw action was at Sevastopol, in June 1942. Also from the movie we learn that only 48 shells were fired, and most of them fell into the sea without doing harm.

And it ends with:
"The engineering masterpiece had became the biggest misinvestment in the history of German Wehrmacht."
