40 . 6 cm SK C / 34 gun The 40 . 6 cm SK C / 34 , sometimes known as the Adolfkanone ( Adolf gun ) , was a German naval gun , designed in 1934 by Krupp and originally intended for the early H - class battleships . Description . Intended to be mounted in battleship turrets , the guns were produced in left and right - handed pairs . These pairs were split for individual mounting in the coastal defence role . The gun ' s barrel was approximately long ( sources state between ) . In a coastal defence emplacement the gun could be elevated to 52 degrees , giving it a range of with the special long range shell called the Adolf - shell . In terms of construction the guns were identical to the 38 cm SK C / 34 - only the calibre of the barrel was different . The rate of fire for the weapon was around 2 minutes per round as coastal artillery . Coastal Defense . Since the intended 56 , 000 ton H and J - class battleships were never completed , the guns that had been designed for them were used as coastal defense artillery during the Second World War . At least eleven of the guns were produced ; eight were sited in Norway ( one was sunk en route ) , and the other three were used in Poland near Danzig . Soon after their first training shots , the Polish guns were moved to France and sited near Sangatte and renamed battery Lindemann in honour of the fallen captain of the battleship " Kapitän zur See " Ernst Lindemann . Gun sites in Poland . The first three guns were situated at the Hel Fortified Area , Poland as Battery Schleswig - Holstein during 1940 to protect the Bay of Danzig . All three guns were fired during May and June 1941 and shortly after the guns were dismounted and transported to France for use as Battery Lindemann . From this new location near Sangatte in France they were used to fire at Dover , in the county of Kent in England and shipping in the English Channel . There is a Museum of Coastal Defence located in the remains of the battery in Hel . Gun sites in Norway . The seven guns that reached their destinations in Norway were split into two batteries : After the end of the war the Trondenes guns were taken over by the Norwegian Army , along with 1 , 227 shells . The battery was last fired in 1957 and formally decommissioned in 1964 . The three Engeløya guns were sold for scrap in 1956 but the four guns at Trondenes were spared and one is open as a museum . In the summer there are normally three or four guided tours per day . Gun sites in France . The Schleswig Holstein Battery from Hel , ( German unit MKB 2 / MAA 119 ) in France recalled as Battery Lindemann ( German unit MKB 6 / MAA 244 ) saw considerable service , with the three guns emplaced singly in turrets , protected by massive concrete encasements in places four metres thick . The guns fired 2 , 226 shells at Dover between 1940 and 1944 . The guns were not put out of action by bombing despite being hit many times , due to the thick concrete . Only the Bruno turret was damaged on 3 September 1944 , when a shell from a British Railway Gun hit its elevating gear shortly before the battery was captured .

Qal ' eh Dokhtar Qal ' eh Dokhtar ( , " The Maiden Castle " ) , is a castle made by Ardashir I , in present day Kerman , Iran , in 209 AD . It is located on a mountain slope near the Firouzabad - Kerman road . The name of the castle implies it was dedicated to the Goddess Anahita , to whom the term " Maiden " refers . After capturing Isfahan and Kerman from the Parthians , Ardashir ( re ) built the city of " Gur " near the castle in Firouzabad , making it his capital . After defeating Ardavan V ( Artabanus V ) , the Parthian king in a great battle in 224 AD , he built the Palace of Ardashir nearby the Ghal ' eh Dokhtar structure . Ardashir ' s grandfather was a prominent priest of the Goddess Anahita at the nearby temple of Darabgird , " City of Darius . " The castle is built on a high bluff which overlooks the river and roadway running south from Fars . The entrance to the castle is through a tall gateway within a large , rectangular tower . Inside , a broad stairway leads up to a rectangular hall , with blind niches on either side and two large buttresses at the east end . These supported stairways go up to the next level , with another large rectangular room , 14 x 23 m , with an iwan at the east end and arched blind windows on either side . It was presumably roofed by an arched vault . Beyond this there are steps to a third level and a large rectangular room with ¼ circle squinch es at each corner supporting a domed roof . This was buttressed by very thick walls on all sides , presumably to ensure its stability , and the cupola could be reached by a spiral staircase on the south side . The fortified palace contains many of the recurring features of Sasanian palace and civic architecture : long halls , arch es , domes , recessed windows , and stairways . The construction is uniform of roughly shaped stone and mortar , but the surfaces were obviously all finished with a thick coating of plaster or stucco , giving a smooth and elegant appearance , which could have been decorated with ornamentation or painting . The 1 , 800 - year - old castle has lost some four meters of its original height over the last century and experts warn if urgent measures are not taken to enforce it , the castle may soon collapse .
First Battle of Alton The First Battle of Alton was a skirmish in 1001 between the English and the Vikings . According to the Anglo Saxon Chronicle it took place at somewhere called , in Old English , " Æthelingadene " . Traditionally , the site was believed to have been what is now Alton , Hampshire . However , it is thought more likely to have been in the East and West Dean area of modern day West Sussex . Causes . Between 991 and 1005 Danish attacks on England escalated from small isolated raids to massed attacks by larger forces . The Danes ravaged the countryside , demanding huge tributes ( Danegeld ) from Æthelred , the Anglo - Saxon king . However , the attacks continued and their plunder and pillage tactics , combined with a rapid march strategy brought them as far as " Æthelingadene " . The Attack . It began with the arrival of the Viking fleet off the Sussex coast , which then proceeded to " " Æthelingadene " " where the men of Hampshire united to fight against them . An indication of the severity of the English casualty list is given by the Anglo - Saxon Chronicle that cites the total English losses as 81 , it included two high - reeves and three thegns , of the bishop of Winchester , this was compared , to ' a much greater number ' lost by the Danes . However , the Danes managed to win the field and advance further west , while the Anglo - Saxons retreated to Winchester . Consequences . The First Battle of Alton failed to stop the Danish Army . They attacked Devon , burning many towns such as " Teignton " , until the area surrendered . The advance continued towards Exmouth , until they reached " Pin - hoo " , where the high - steward of the king , Cole , and Edsy , the reeve of the king once again raised an army against them at the Battle of Pinhoe . Again the Danes prevailed and burned ' many goodly towns that we cannot name ' . Here they turned eastwards and reached the Isle of Wight , until the people there made peace with them . In the year 1006 , Æthelred was forced to make a permanent peace with the hostile force , and gave them a tribute of 30 , 000 pounds . In 1008 , he gave the order to build ships , triggering a huge naval force to be made . By 1009 , this fleet was ready , and was sent to Sandwich to defend the land against attacking forces . Placename . The Anglo Saxon Chronicle records the battle as being at Æthelingadene . Ætheling is the Old English for " Prince " , " Ingas " is a settlement of people associated with a common leader and " Dene " is derived from " denu " the name for valley . Therefore the place - name " Æthelinga - dene " refers to the valley associated with " Æthelings " and it has been suggested that Dene ( now East and West Dean , West Sussex ) was where Queen Ælfthryth brought up her grandchildren , the sons of Æthelred , who would have had the title " Ætheling " .

Fort Lyon Fort Lyon , first named Fort Wise , has served in Colorado as a United States Army fort , a sanatorium , a neuropsychiatry facility , and a minimum security prison . The state closed the prison in 2011 , and in 2013 proposed to use the site as a rehabilitation center for homeless people . The fort is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . Part of the site , the Fort Lyon National Cemetery , which began burials in 1907 , remains open . History . Fort Lyon was operated on the Colorado eastern plains until 1867 . That year a new fort called Fort Lyon , and later Las Animas , Colorado , U . S . Naval Hospital and 5BN117 , was built near the present - day town of Las Animas , Colorado . First named after Virginia governor Henry Wise , the fort was renamed in 1862 during the American Civil War . The US Army named it after General Nathaniel Lyon , who was killed in the Battle of Wilson ' s Creek near Springfield , Missouri in 1861 . Old Fort Lyon was notable as the staging post used by Colonel John Chivington in 1864 as he led an attack by the Third Colorado Cavalry and other forces on friendly Cheyenne and Arapaho camps that became known as the Sand Creek Massacre . As witnesses and survivors emerged , the US Congress investigated , with a resulting national wave of public outrage about the slaughter and mutilation of up to 163 people , primarily women , children , and the elderly . The campground has been designated a National Historic Site . In 1866 after flooding on the Arkansas River , the US Army established a new fort near Las Animas . The facility was completed in 1867 . The U . S . Army used Fort Lyon until 1897 , when they abandoned it after the end of the Indian Wars . Angry Indians burned the old fort after the Army left . In 1906 , the U . S . Navy opened a sanatorium there to treat sailors and marines with tuberculosis . The dry climate and rest by isolation at the fort were thought to be beneficial by contemporary treatment methods . On June 22 , 1922 , the Veteran ' s Bureau assumed operations . In 1930 , administration of the hospital was transferred to the newly created Veterans Administration . Within three years , the VA designated Fort Lyon a neuropsychiatry facility . In 2001 the hospital was closed and the facility was turned over to the state of Colorado for conversion to a minimum security prison . The prison was closed in 2011 . In September , 2013 , Governor John Hickenlooper announced that Fort Lyon had reopened as a rehabilitation center for homeless people .
