Signal Article
In the school of the Artilleryman. Where are the enemy artillery batteries positioned? The electric lights, which turn on and off, represent enemy canons firing in this miniature landscape and must be honed in on by the gunners using their optical instruments. Performance is then calculated using the angle measuring method.
Target: Enemy Battery on Hill 115. Using a miniature canon, the same firing calculations are made as would take place on a full sized canon. Everything that a future battery chief will need can be trained here including the Creeping Barrage and Corrected Fire, for both direct and indirect fire.
50 meters too short. The students observe carefully where the small shells land and thereby, as a group, learn the art of the artilleryman.
Straight ahead, in the town, an enemy tank. With the small practice canons the trainees learn to shoot. What is the purpose of this exercise? The long distances that the canons can shoot was a real problem in the training process basically because they were unable to physically see where the shells were landing. This problem was resolved in the Wehrmachtâs artillery school by reducing the scale of all sizes and distances equally.
After going over the lessons learned the tank and the target town are brought back to the workshop to be repaired.
The Skyscraper you see at 1:56 is the Boerentoren in Antwerp, built 1930 in Art Deco style. Back then it was the highest non cathedral building in Belgium. It still stands
Incorporation of the Signal Magazine material greatly expanded and explained concepts touched upon in the newsreel's section on artillery training. The combination of the two materials made them both better.
Brilliant video as always ð
I'm still surprised this channel doesn't have more subscribers.
You and me both. We are swimming upstream Herbert, please help spread the word
I think he needs to do more cross promotions with similar world war two history channels. I found his channel through a cross promotion with Mark Felton Productions channel.
Thank you! I enjoyed the description of the artillery training and seeing the model in the video.

Viele EuropÃĪer sollten endlich ihre Familienalben aufschlagen und noch einmal genauer nachschauen...ð â
Sie kÃĪmpften fÞr Europa, nicht fÞr den Kapitalismusð
They killed a quarter of a million of my countrymen. They robbed EVERYTHING and took it to Germany. They inundated large parts of my country.
They murdered my wifeâs grandfather. They ruined the childhood of my mother, my mother-in-law, my father, my father-in-law and many uncles of mine.
No greetings from the Netherlands ðģðą.
FÞr Kapitalismus haben die nicht nicht gekÃĪmpft, damit bin ich einverstanden. Aber fÞr Europa auch nicht . . .
I have to agree Hans, they were not fighting for Europe
