Supply train-BRESLAU!

#1

I just got this today. Is this a supply train heading to the Ostfront from Breslau? Or is it from Festung Breslau in 1945?
Also, what model PAK guns are those?

Neat photo Karl! Sadly I know next to nothing about PAK's so I can't help you there... or on the Breslau/Festung Breslau question :(

How can you say the train is from Breslau? AFAI can see it's only the first box-car to be from Breslau. The place seen could be any marshalling yard. The PaK is a 37mm Pak 36, standard to the early war AT-units.
That's it in short from me

It could actually be pretty much anywhere ! The rolling stock looks in pretty good condition which makes me wonder if its not earlier rather than later in the war, but thats all..
Probably not Festung Breslau at the end of the war though, an average soldier wouldn't be able to get the film for his camera!!

Some very good points. I was sort of thinking the same thing.
