Hi Sven,Interesting pic of the bren on the german AA mount ,
The gun has obviously retained the early style barrel and even has the Butt AA handle atatched.
Would you happen to know if the photo caption includes any date when it was taken.
I would imagine that it also has a special bracket made to conform to the original bren mounting point .
The AA tripod looks to have the normal MG 34 head fitted , would you agree ?
Do you know wich department was responsible for the checking and issue of captured weapons? Was it one department or would machineguns go through the machinegun authority and things like the Bofors AA gun through the artillery or flak department ?
regards
Tim
Sry there wasn't a date to this picture.
And to the rest, if I shall the truth I don't have a clue.
cheers sven
