Talk:SMS Elsass

building cost
I just noticed that the figure given in the article (23,983,000 marks) is the one for SMS Braunschweig. Elsass was a bit more expensive with 24,373,000 marks. Since there is a reference to a reliable source (actually I use the same source here, but in German), I don't want to mess around here. Could anyone please check the figures and correct them? It looks to me as someone figured if one ship of a class costs such and such, all the others will too. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 05:34, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Presumably, I was looking at the Braunschweig row by mistake. I'm sure the English version of Groener has the same figure as the German version, so go ahead and correct it. Thanks for catching the mistake. Parsecboy (talk) 11:45, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Same with SMS Hessen. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 12:59, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Winter activity 1914-15
The article says:
 * Elsass returned to the Elbe from 5 December to 1 March 1915; during this period, she underwent periodic maintenance from 24 to 28 February.

According to the German Wikipedia Elsass took also part in the advance to Gotland (26-30. December 1914) and a few days later (6-9. January 1915.) covered a cruisers advancing to the Gulf of Finland. Only after these actions was she replaced to the Elbe.

Which Information is accurate? --Andreas (talk) 19:43, 14 December 2017 (UTC)


 * The material here comes from Hildebrand et. al., the de.wiki article doesn't have citations, so I can't tell you where it comes from. As far as I'm aware, none of the IV Squadron ships took part in those operations, just the V Squadron and the Baltic cruiser division. Parsecboy (talk) 20:51, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
