Transcript (taking Bergen):

While troops force their way into the Oslo Fjord,
landing is in progress in Kristiansand. The first attempt is a failure.
In the fog, strong resistance needs defeating before the troops can land.

This is Kristiansand.

On her way back, the cruiser Karlsrhuhe is hit by torpedoes.

The cruiser Königsberg, with a course for Bergen.

At the same time, Bergen is occupied. The city does not lie on the coast,
but behind several large islands, and can only be reached through long, narrow passages.
The way in is well-fortified, but they manage to force their way through.
The battle is hard!
The fortifications protecting the western and northern passages are captured.

General Tittel is with the first troops who enter the city.
He goes to the Norwegian Commander to press for capitulation.

The next day, British planes sink the damaged cruiser Königsberg.

The capture of the fortifications is to a large degree protected by the Air Force.
Currently, the first planes land in Bergen harbour.

So as you can tell, it's not exactly the fervour-ridden propaganda you'd expect from Nazi Germany.

I'll transcript the other one when I have time and can be bothered. I've got school-work to do
