caption_attribution_description: English: The two remaining "Adolf-shells" in the Adolf Gun bunker in Harstad, Norway. These shells were much lighter (600 kg) than the normal shells (1030 kg) used by the four 400 mm Adolf guns to allow a longer range of 56 km (versus 42 km). The maximum ceiling in the ballistic trajectory was 21,000 meter (70,000 ft) or twice as high as a passenger jet flies. This gun was built by the Germans in WW2 in Harstad, Norway, but never fired in anger. The gun was operated by the Norwegian armed forces in the 1950s, the largest gun ever used by the Norwegian armed forces. Norsk bokmål: De to gjenværende Adolf-granatene, som står i bunkeren under Adolf-kanonen i Harstad. Disse granatene veide "bare" 600 kg, mens de vanlige granatene veide 1030 kg. Dette gjorde at Adolf-granatene hadde en rekkevidde på 56 km (vs 42 km) og nådde en maksimal høyde på 21 000 m i sin ballistiske bane, dvs dobbelt så høyt som flyhøyden for et stort passasjerfly. Kanonen ble aldri brukt mot noen fiende. Den ble brukt av det norske forsvaret på 50.tallet og er dermed den største kanonen noensinne brukt av de norske styrker.
