Hello Christian,

somewhere on this forum is a pic showing an Erdkampflafette (I think) in a dug in positinon. (The picture is from the MNZS collection)
And I found a Wochenschau clip showing a similar (dug in) mg 151/20 (I think) firing somewhere in the frontline in Hungary, during op. Konrad 3, or Frühlingserwachen.
I'll try to post some photos later.

Hi there!
To be honest I am suprised with a quantity of the types of the Erdekamplafette for MG151. There is one more, check the link http://mundosgm.com/smf/index.php?topic=1257.15 . Probably I have the part of it but still not for sure. I would really appreciate if you could post some more pics of Erdekampflafette. Maybe you have seen one in real - in private or museum collection. Thanks for any comments.

Hello Jos!
Thank you for a valuable information. I have downloaded DV 1888/2 so it means there is two more to source out. I can just think about Bundesarchiv at the moment but maybe you know the better one. The one you mentioned is short of that. I have found this one little picture on one of the Polish forums, unfortunately the autor of the post doesn't remember the source. Maybe you can help me?

Hello Tomski1973

I also recieved this photo from a person who restored a Erdkampflafette with a M.G. 151/20
but during a computercrash I lost his e-mailadres , but maybe he is still around on this Forum .
For the D 1869/2 and D 1869/1I don't know if the Bundesarchiv have them , I never found them
but I also never searched for it . But the piece that you found resembles the one from DV 1888/2.

Regards Jos

Hello Jos,
Thanks for support, I hate your computer now :x . That lafette looks very promising to me, now it's a time of patience. There is another little tread, unfortunately in German but on the pics you can see a MG151/20, which could be previously on the EKL. The link is http://www.forum-der-wehrmacht.de/threa ... stid=55157 .

Hi, I sent the "2 cm Erdkampflafette 151/20" picture, renewed material. I can furnish more pictures during the different restauration periods. This material is originated from Gdansk about 15 years ago and is presently in France.

And one more picture of the same row of the Erdkampflafettes - this time described as a Gdansk area in one of the Russian sources. You can clearly see two types of tripods shown here.
