Talk:Battle of Hegra Fortress

Battlefield 1942

Can anyone confirm this was a real battle and not just a map from Battlefield 1942? Google is unhelpful and I'm not near a library. --W.marsh 15:20, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

The Battle of Hegra fortress happened.Inge 21:06, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Not only did it happen, it was big news in French, British and American newspapers during spring 1940. This would be an example of "art" imitating reality. Manxruler 22:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Gun dimensions

Fascinating article, thank you. A small point of detail: it's normal, when discussing gun barrel calibre, to refer to dimensions in millimetres rather than centimetres. So, for example, the '7.5 cm' gun referred to in the article would normally be termed a '75mm' gun.MicahSixEight (talk) 19:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, when referring to British or American gun calibres millimetres is the norm. However, with regards to Norwegian, or indeed German, gun calibres, centimetres is the norm. See for example the German-manufactured, Norwegian-operated, gun Ehrhardt 7.5 cm Model 1901. Or the fully German anti-tank gun 7.5 cm Pak 40. Cheers. Manxruler (talk) 19:35, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

The Brits have traditionally used imperial measurements, so not mainly millimetres there either. Manxruler (talk) 19:39, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification.MicahSixEight (talk) 20:02, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
