"working on my AA viereflak ...."

It's been a long time, but I believe it's Flakvierling.

That’s a tricky picture, the flat surface with the door is actually part of the ship’s superstructure and not the gun shield. The back of the guns didn’t have steel doors just a canvas cover which could be rolled upwards when not needed.

this picture is of graf spee...but where their secondairy guns not same?...I was convinced that the main guns and secondairy guns where all the same on the 3 Deutschland class troughout their life span and different modifications.... in this picture there are clearly doors...very confusing and not many good pictures around on that fact

And another one. Of course these are peacetime photos and it's possible that steel doors were fitted later to Scheer too but I could'nt find any evidence to confirm or refute this. :scratch:
