New Kriegsmarine DVD set
Hi, all There is a new DVD set (3 units in a box) about the Kriegsmarine. About 2/3 is the same old material that most of us known, but 1/3 is totally new, at least for me. Minutes and minutes, if not hours, of never seen footage. An example: 5 minutes devoted to the meeting of Atlantis and Admiral ...

The Armada
Hi, all I'm in favour of the spanish 'armada' versus the QE fleet (1588 or circa, I don't remember now). Not only because number of ships, amount of losses and men involved, but for the consequences.

top distance
Hi to all (I'm new here) As far as I remember, the top distance reached by any capital ship firing on anger was obtained by the Admiral Scheer: 45 km (shore firing, 4Q 1944; she 'sank' dozens of T-34's and KV-1's). Source, 'Verdammte See', Cajus Bekker. It was indirect firing (far beyond the horizon...
