LukeFF Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Saferight, great picture. Yep, it's a great pic. Some background info on it: German snipers at Kubschutz near the German town of Bautzen. April 25, 1945. German snipers of the 1st Parachute tanks First Division "Hermann Göring" in Kubshyutse (Kubschütz), captured from the Red Army on the outskirts Bautzen, Saxony. Snipers are armed with rifles of various types: Gewehr 43 (1st and 5th right), Mauser 98k (third from left), as well as captured Soviet Mosin rifle (third right) . On April 21, 1945 the Wehrmacht made its last counter-attack, which occurred in the left flank of the advancing units of the 1st Ukrainian Front. After several days of heavy fighting in the environment, a small portion managed to get through to her. The last German offensive halted April 26, 1945, but the fighting in the area continued until the end of April.

LukeFF Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I am pretty sure I have a few FJ guys armed with those Italian SMGs in "A Temple to Mars". I'll take a closer look next turn... They are, for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
