I've seen that video on the history channel. They showed it fireing it's main battery, plus some automatic (A.A. 20mm? or A.A. 37mm?) weapons. Also a barge alongside to pitch empty shell caseings in. Talk about a good will visit gone bad! What slimey deception. I wonder where you can get the info. on how the automatic weapons were arrainged on board? Keep us posted............ luck......
G.L.

Yes, i not 100% sure, but i think it might be the real thing.
I' ve got those episodes on cd-rom SVCD format, i will look to that again.
I'll tell you something soon, here in this same topic.

Best regards.

QUOTE: Originally posted by ppvr I believe there is. I've seen it, in video. It was an Australian series of 4 episodes called "Battleships" one of these episodes started whith an old german battleship firing the first shots of WW2.

Oh yeah, I remember that show. It's been on cable TV in the USA too. I wonder if that is real footage of the SH firing the first shots, or if it is stock footage claiming to be the first shots? (You know how teevee documentaries are -- showing Tigers in an episode about the invasion of Poland and all.)

But that is a great tip, thanks very much.
