Battlefield 1942
[edit]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
[edit]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 orAmerican 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)
