We've had several different quizes running here in the forum for a while with great success and now that this new section has been opened, I'm starting one here too.

The rules are very simple:
The first one to post the correct answer to a question, posts a new question (must be on the fortifications & artillery used by the Axis) and so on.

Feel free to post a question to get things started.

Hallo Kurt!
You`ll get it even if you are on thin ice :wink:

Its a loading trainer for several types of guns, not just the 10,5
The Germans called them Ladeübungskanone.

Hello
Im on thin ice as i dont know really. But a L479 ? at Douvres ? Perhaps the model is at Musée radar Douvres, Douvres-la-Délivrande ?
If wrong, still i had a good time looking for the answer, and now i have learned something about Douvres/Distelfink.

Hello Kurt and Jop.
Had to go the long road to figure what it was, but with the use of google and search function in the forum, everything is possible..

Im sorry to say that i cant come up with anything right now, so perhaps Kurt can come up with another one ?
