Btt. Deutschland Posted 18 February , 2006 Share Posted 18 February , 2006 Very nice Cnock, do you have any ideas where the guns come from? regards, wouter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Dunlop Posted 18 February , 2006 Share Posted 18 February , 2006 Nolf, they came from Belgian fortresses. The Germans captured large numbers in their invasion of Belgium. Some were modified as infantry guns and some were later used to arm the A7V tanks. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 18 February , 2006 Author Share Posted 18 February , 2006 Nolf, As I stated in my post nr.9, these are Belgian fortress guns. The German Naval Division captured several after the fall of Antwerpen and the fortresses around the city. Regards, Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
