I discussed it with my wife and it seems we can't move to Germany, sigh

Maybe move to the US; just stay away from most of the heavily populated coastal states.

For those of us that are limited to speaking American and basic English you need to click on this picture for the Hammer test.

For Dial up its a 4.4 MB. Download and go have dinner then come back...eat slow.

A handy online translator is http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr So you can translate the description of the various videos offered.

I do wish I knew what the narrator was saying there has to be something in there to be learned.

It has been a couple of days (or 20 years ) since I have used German , but the opening seems to be comparing his german made cannon to one made in Montreal, Canada.
Kind of an apples to oranges thing though 'cause one is cast iron (and lined) and his appears to be steel.
Of interest also is that one of the ways to disable the early guns was to dismount it and break off a trunnion on cast barrels.
