IrishGunner Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Hello Chris: Richtkanonier , I believe is called a gun pointer. Nice documents, all incl. the Saxon one. Bernhard H. Holst At least in American usage, this particular member of a gun crew would be called the "gunner". The "gunner" sets deflection, while the "assistant gunner" sets elevation. Not to be confused with the British rank of Gunner.
