The steam locomotive is the German DRG BR 03 119. 298 units of the Baureihe 03 were produced from 1930 to 1938 by Borsig, Krupp, Henschel, and Schwartzkopff. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRG_Baureihe_03 http://www.dlok.de/86.htm It was active with the East-German DR until 1977. http://lokschilder.info/Galeriebilder/DRo/03119GAlS_Satz.jpg A picture from 1958 of the similar 03 121: http://www.alt-deutschland.com/HF-01-B2-1-NN75-58-3.jpg A picture of the similar 03 117 (03 2117) waiting to be dismantled in 1984: http://www.bahnbilder.de/bilder/br-03-75875.jpg |

Plane No.7 is a Fairey Battle. First flown in 1937 and designated as a light bomber, 2185 units of this type were produced, almost half of these under licence by the Austin Motor Company. Early in the war it proved to be very vulnerable due to it's slow speed and was soon withdrawn from active service ... or shot down, as seen in the above picture. --- BTW: Stuka only with one k, as it is an abbreviation of Sturzkampfflugzeug. |

It's been a while, so here's more planes and trains.There are going to be repeats, so I'll only post the clearer pictures. Ep. 4 'Alone' (Britain, May 1940- May 1941) Ep. 5 'Barbarossa' (USSR, June-December 1941) |

The first and fourth picture in ep.4 shows a Hawker Hurricane, I think Mk.IIB. The second picture shows a Heinkel He 111, I think Ausf.J. In the third picture we see a Dornier Do 17 Ausf.Z. The underground train in the fifth picture is one of the London Hounslow Loop Line (not sure if it was called that in 1940). The bomber in ep.5 is the Tupolew ANT 6 TB-3 M-17 (1931-33) and the bi-plane in the background is most likely a Polikarpow I-5 (1930-34). The third picture shows a Junkers Ju 87 Ausf.B. The armoured train in the forth picture of ep.5 is probably of German origin. -- Last edit: 2008-03-26 12:13:01 |

The underground train is on the Piccadilly Line. The loop didn't exist in 1940 - it was built to serve Heathrow Terminal 4 in 1984. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccadilly_Line |

Thanks, Gag. At least the Hounslow station existed then, but the pictured station must have been one in central London. |

Hey, could an admin change all the vehicles marked as being from episode 6 to episode 7? I forgot to do the actual episode 6 (which was focused on Japan) so I apologize for any inconvenience. -- Last edit: 2008-03-27 05:26:56 |
◊ 2008-03-27 15:25 |
Done. |
◊ 2008-03-27 17:17 |
It was not useful to these one by one, I could have done all in 1 command directly on the db (though that one dozen did not take you so much time I guess) -- Last edit: 2008-03-27 17:18:18 |
◊ 2008-03-28 01:53 |
I guessed so, but you have such a lot of other tasks, too, and it gave me the excuse to look at the pictures. |

Who has archived the comments from this page, and for what reason? |
◊ 2008-05-27 23:28 |
Good question. Except the few comments about episode numbering change which could be deleted, other comments should stay here... |
◊ 2008-05-29 05:50 |
Sorry, I archived the comments because I thought they were getting a bit jumbled, and I wanted to list all the episodes first. -- Last edit: 2008-05-29 05:51:11 |
