in addition:
Here you get information about the fortress:
Welcome - The Fortress Königstein

@ Tomi,
I was a commander of tank units and can you tell a lot about tanks.
By my mind:
This mortar shot 25cm bullets, but effective shooting distance should be no more than 500m.
Maybe there are a lot of artillery experts here in the forum.
Visit us in Saxony and we'll look at all this beautiful things together, Tomi!

Thanks. I think we will visit in Germany next year. Would be nice to meet you and your family! I'll have to negotiate with the government (wife).

I know something about guns, tanks and AFV's as well. I served my conscript year (so long ago) at the coastal artillery. After that year i recruited and served about 10 years at Coastal Jaegers/Transport Squadron.
Here's a pic from those days:

Schützenpanzerwagen SPW-70S

No Russian stuff. These are Finnish XA-180 amphibious and armored vehicles, nicknamed 'Pasi'.

I can't tell a lot about the tanks.
But in 1988-90 I was a commander of such BRDM.

In Germany it was the SPW 40 P2
often used by recon units.
