Map
[edit]The map shows the post WW II German border and not the one until 1918/19. Could anyone change that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.145.89.65 (talk) 09:54, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
breech locks were removed, when?
[edit]The article states:Once the ships were interned, their breech locks were removed, which disabled their guns., I can't check the book from which is taken, but other sources states that the breech locks and the fire control system were removed before leaving German port.

Ship's bell
[edit]"The ship's bell was delivered to the German Federal Navy on 30 August 1965. Her bell is now on display outside the church of St Michael on the Outer Hebrides island of Eriskay." Is there not a contradiction between these sentences? Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 04:50, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- Good catch - I've removed the line about the bell being in Eriskay. Parsecboy (talk) 12:27, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
This is because I don't know how it got from the GFN to Eriskay. I would like to know. However, I have seen it there, photographed it there (not touched it, stupidly), and found it cited in documents. So it is not clear to me why you removed it.
Anyway, as my sole contribution to wikipedia, I am reinstating it... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.203.249 (talk) 19:12, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- The website you cited is not a reliable source. If you have a photo of the bell, why don't you upload it? Parsecboy (talk) 20:13, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Okay have uploaded it to wikimedia commons, linked to it, and taken the liberty of reinstating the text. Hopefully that is good enough El tigger (talk) 22:15, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Good reference from German side of Derflinger operations
[edit]Hi: An excellent source of information on Derflinger can be found in "Kiel and Jutland" by Commander Georg Von Hase. This book by the gunnery officer of Derflinger at Jutland has been translated into English and is available in a number of editions. I suggest it be added to the reference list.192.195.154.123 (talk) 19:59, 14 May 2014 (UTC) T. Schubert
- Good idea, I've added it to a further reading section. Parsecboy (talk) 20:44, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
