Unusual Flak ?
Unusual Flak ?
Hello
Added a picture that its possible to purchase, me marking some details not related to the question, and keep the seller and possible buyer happy
Some time ago there was a picture posted in this forum, a gunpit with some strange rails pointing up, and inwards to the middle of the pit.
I cant remember what the conclusion was about the picture, and cant find the tread.
The picture added have the same rails, and for me it seems to be a unusual setup. It reminds a litle bit of some of the early setup for flak. But im not sure if it is a flakgun. Anyone remember the earlier tread, or have a coment about this gun ? Jos ?

Hello Stril
I have seen a few photo's from these guns on Ebay , just as you
say I think there pre W.W. 2 gun or even W.W.1 that were used
during in 1940 , as you can see a lot of improvised rail-bettung to
have a flakgun .
Maybe you mean this gun that you were looking for ??

Hello
According to this internetsite the lafette is a French one from 1939
http://www.fortiff.be/alpy/index.php?p=4 ( middle of the page )
Looks like this lafette is a tempory solution for the lack of heavy French A.A.
I can't see if on Stril picture it's a 75 mm Mle 1897 or a 105 mm Mle 1913 ,
but it's looks that on the last photo the guns are 10.5 cm ???

Hello
Thank you Jos, always helpful.
The earlier tread had picture of a gunpit/bettung made of bricks. It looked like it was coneshaped. The only thing left in the pit was the frames.
But with the link and the pictures added it is clearly the same setup.
Im adding a part of the same picture. The gun seems to be damaged, with most of the barrel missing.

Hi all,
Last winter 2007 we went to France and around Dunkirk we found the remains of a French AA battery.

Michel van Best told us he saw more examples in the Maginotline.

Hi All
On picture the cannon from 1. Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment in Warsaw.
Interesting fact. Identical anti-aircraft cannons used Polish army long before war. Called it 75 mm wz. 97/24 “on carousel”(in French 75 mm Mle 97/24 ??).jopaerya wrote:Hi All
