35; German Voegele Schwenkbahnbettung WW II (limited)

German Schwenkbahnbettung for K5 Leopold  WW II

History: The "Vögele" platform was mainly used in France in the coastal regions, around Calais,
in Italy and Russia.

This combination of railwaygun and Vögele turnplate was often used in
W.W. II by the German whermacht.
The platform enable them to traverse the railwaygun through 360° in either direction.

The average time t set up thegun and platform for use was 48 hours.
It took 24 hours to construct te turning circle rails and another 24 hours to construct
the mounting platform and transfer the gun and carriage on to the platform.
The platform was developed by "Krupp" and named after the chief engineer
"Vögele". He controlled the whole development program

The main problems where the platform had to be portable, strong and able to be used
with different railwayguns.

When the gun was fired thes was a massive re-coil that had to be counter - acted by the
hydraulic cylinders on the head of the platform.

In times of emergencies or times of air-raids the whole circle was covered with camouflage
nets and foliageand the railwaygun was hidden in a kathedral shelter or a railway tunnel .

2 types of platforms were used a short and long version..
All the parts where the same only a few small parts where different like the turning gear and
Crank systemalso undr the hydrolic cylinders head the metal parts where round ore square profile.

The gun carriage, platform and crew where moved around by two trains.
Non of thise platforms have survived the W.W. II.
