A facebook page on the Subject of the "Dicke Bertha " guns
Permalink   

I have set up a facebook page focusing on the "Dicke Bertha" guns where I have posted almost all the material I have on file. I think that it is too extensive to post it all on the Landship Forum.  Would it be acceptable to post the link to the facebook page here on the landship forum?

Regards,

Harry

Don't do Facebook - never have done.

In answer to the question on the 42cm projectiles:

The armour piercing projectile was painted blue-grey

The larger HE projectile was painted a yellow ochre colour (that's clay yellow not the later chrome yellow)

I'm sure there's a thread on this forum on the 42cm projectiles.

The cartridges for the 42cm Dicke Berta are documented at: https://www.kaisersbunker.com/cc/cc16.htm

and:

The wooden planks around the 42cm Gamma gerat  were for the assembly crane used to lift and move the components of the howitzer.

On page 11 of M. Romanych & M. Rupp's book on the German Siege Howitzers is an image of the Gamma gerat with crane. 

regards,

Charlie

Hi Harry

Although the "Dicke Bertha" is not of tremendous interest to me, I highly appreciate your research on that subject and sharing it with other modelers. I have also done more then thirty years of research on various subjects (for example Austro-Daimler M.17, Skoda Küstenmörser M.14, Skoda Gudrun and Barbara, Junovicz, Daimler DZR, …), that might be of interest for the modeler here, but I didn’t know how to share all that. It seems th me that Facebook would be a good way to do that. Thanks a lot! And it seems, that I should join Facebook too…

Cheers, Peter

Hello Peter!
Would it make more sense, to run an own homepage?
A lot of users, like me, don´t use social networks. And FB is the worst of them all...wink

Facebook isn't the only game in town and may not be the best one for your purpose.

Personally I don't much care for Facebook's interface - it wastes a lot of space to no good purpose - aside

from the privacy issues and policies of Facebook.

Just off the top of my head blogspot (run by Google and free) might serve you better. There isn't much of learning curve

for the editor. 

If all of that seems too hard I would be prepared to work out something for Landships II - a new section perhaps 

"modeller's resources".

Regards,

Charlie

Thank you all for your kind remarks, FB was selected for ease of use. I tried a personal homepage but my provider changed poilicies and it is not6 longer free, at least for the amount I like to upload..... After putting all I have on file on FB, I more or less lost momentum, for now there is nothing more to post, ( dried up). I will look/ search an alternative to reach thiose with an understandable reservation for using FB.

Regards,

Harry

Hello Harry,

I like your "Dicke Bertha" Facebook page. You have posted quite a number of interesting photos there. Thank you!

As for those who do not like Facebook, I understand completely. I have been able to tailor my page so that
I do not get political posts and by carefully accepting friends and liking pages, 90 percent of the posts
I receive are history related. The rest are easily dealt with. Now, if I can only get rid of those pesky Facebook ads!

Regards,
Marc

A factor which might influence your deliberations about a platform to lodge the product of your research is that Facebook may 

well be in terminal decline. The company has lost 2/3 of its stock value in the last year with no sign of a bottom. An explanation, 

with some gloating, is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hlw3Fqo_PKA [The narrator of the video has had "issues" with Facebook]

In the light of these events I'll firm up my offer to work with anyone who wants to "immortalise" and disseminate their research work onto Landships II.

Landships is regularly captured by archive.org so should be secure against most events. I also keep a development and archive copies on the other side of the

world from where its hosted. Mmm... perhaps not nuclear war but I guess the continuation of data about WW1 will not worry most of us in that event.

Regards,

Charlie
