    You got half the answer, look outside the Heer for the other half.

    • Despite my efforts to figure out what the other one could be, ich kenne nicht was die andere Anklopfer ist, so I'll leave it to someone else who can figure that one out. :-)

        M12 155MM cannon? If that is the answer, Ironduke you did the heavy lifting, also I have no question. It is yours

          Correct, the M1918A1 155mm on the M12GMC when used in the direct fire role to bust open bunkers was called the door knocker by GI's.

            During OIF 1 & 2 TOW missiles fired at buildings were also called door knockers by the troops.

                  So what relationship does a star shaped fort in the US have to the Battle of Maciejowice?

                      Aaah, but West Point was not star shaped.

                      Right guy, not where I am looking for, however.
