2.5 cm Flak Hotchkiss

[Carl Schwamberger]

2.5 cm Hotchkiss on Atlantic wall,note the 15 kill rings on the barrel.

I wonder how often those were painted on for a news or propaganda photo vs a accurate count?

Hard to say!Most likely kill rings on the flak guns barrels are for all battery score.

Hi all,
