Anyone recognise the gun?
I have been watching this Pathe News footage of German Army Manouvers in 1926 and I was intrigued by this gun. Can anyone identify it?
It looks like a 7.5cm Minenwerfer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minenwerfer#/media/File:German_7.58_cm_minenwerfer.jpg). The recoil cylinders look the same, as does what I can see of the carriage.

Tradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteThe weapon has its Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.58_cm_Minenwerfer) and the example in your photo looks like the 1916 n.A. model.
All the best,
Bob
