    I'm having a website with remnants from the Second World War in Europe and need some assistants.
    Most of the pages of the website have been translated from Danish by Google Translate and I need a better translation.
    Just a sincle/few pages or more!
    English, French or German...
    Are there any of you who would like to help with it. If so, I'd be very happy.
    Many greetings.

    You have an interesting website. I look forward to seeing more as it gets updated. Alas, I do not have the skills necessary to help you out. Perhaps other members who are bi-lingual will be willing to offer their assistance. I wish you all the best in your endeavour.

    We are close to goal, but I still need help.
    121 out of 320 pages have been translated, within the last six month.
    Are there any of you that will help with a few more pages?

    best regards

    Hi Martin,

    I can't help with the translations, but if you need anything proofread in English (grammar, punctuation, sentence flow, etc), I'll be happy to help. I find this area of WW2 interesting, and am happy to see a website devoted to it.

    If you're having trouble with the translations, try sending me a copy of what google translate says, and I'll see if I can fix it up.

    Regards,
    Alan

    Here's a quick proofread I did. Let me know what you think:
    ---
    The Germans started construction of the Oldenburg gun battery in July 1940 with the goal of keeping the English Channel free of Allied ships during the forthcoming German invasion of the UK. Later its role became more defensive and the battery became a part of the Germans' Atlantic wall.

    The two guns had been captured by the Germans during the First World War and subsequently modernized in the Krupp factory. The caliber was changed to the German standard 240 mm and fired a shell with a weight of 150 kg, with a range of 28 km. Before their installation in the battery the guns had been used in the German attack on France.

    The compound began to be expanded in the autumn of 1940 with the construction of two large pillboxes for the guns along with associated crew, garage, auxiliary gun and fire control bunkers.

    As you can all see on the website, I've worked hard this summer with a big update. The proofreading in English is complete and I am only missing abot 20 page in French and German.
    Is there anyone who would like to help with proofreading of one or more pages in French or German.
    Best regards, Martin

    I have a break from my daily work and are ready to expand the website again.
    Is there anyone who would like to help with proofreading of a few pages in German and French?
    I also need photos, if there are any who have visited these places: V1 base La Boissais, Mesnil-Au-Val and Neuville, Bunker Ringeltaube in Landsberg, Gun Battery Noordwijk in Netherland and Gun Battery Husoen and Master Strand in Norway.
    Any help will be appreciated.
