Fonson Weight 77 gr. Dimension 63 mm X 48 mm Thickness 5 mm Condition Excellent, Very Nice Patina, 100 % Authentic Struck During the siege of Namur, the Germans have learned the lessons of the failure of the first wave of assault launched two weeks ago against the fortified position of Liege, which was to take strong force different strengths. A Namur, the Germans immediately constitute an army headquarters and begin from August 21 to 10 am, methodical and intense bombardment of the forts and the city itself. The strengths of Namur are subjected to shelling of the heaviest artillery available to the Germans, namely Austrian mortars of 305 mm and the famous 420-mm mortars type M (nicknamed "Big Bertha") which, in addition to their fire power without equal (to give an idea, the largest shells could draw a strong weighed around 90 kg, while a Big Bertha shells weighed in a little over 800!), shoot outside the scope of Canons of strengths. The balance of power is totally unequal, and this is no surprise that they go relatively quickly. It should be noted that the garrisons of the strengths they have made to the enemy until the complete destruction of armaments forts, and when the air became unbreathable (the breakdown of strengths was disastrous, or non-existent). Apart from the garrison of Fort Malonne, which went without a fight and without the fort had been bombed, defenders of the strengths of Namur have no démérité and made the maximum possible within the means available to them.   World Wide: v Shipment and “Insured for 65 $ usd” In  Regidtered Mail     Free     Return Policy: I offer 7 day return policy.
