An entry from Battle of Hel appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 30 April 2006.

Text says there was "120 mm" refector. Isn't that "120 cm"?

Yes, my mistake - correcting now. Thanks.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 18:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About 3 September

In text: "Hel coastal batteries damaged a German destroyer on 3 September". Is it right? I found information, that on 3 September german destroyer "Lebereht Maass" was damaged by polish destroyer ORP Wicher, not by coastal batteries. Ingwar JR 11:40, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

The sources are confusing, there are also claim that it was ORP Gryf that scored the hit. Nonetheless we have inline reference for the defenders in general. Do you have references to the contrary?--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 14:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... At first I was based on one book, where was information, that "Lebereht Maass" was damaged by ORP Wicher. But I found some new information here (in russian). In short: Gunther Lutjens (commander of german destroyers) thought, that "Leberecht Maass" was damaged by 150-mm gun of coastal battery (polish ships had no such calibre). But de:Friedrich Ruge (in 1939 he was commander of minesweeper forces), visited "Leberecht Maass" after battle, confirm, that destroyer was damaged not more, then by 120-mm gun (ORP "Gryf"). So, I think, the best way is to write "Hel defenders...", as you did. Ingwar JR 02:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
