      wow, what's that? I know of the Gebirgs flak 38
      http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...mGebFlak38.htm

      But this is a flak 30 on a completely different mount. Any more info on it Bill?

      That first lg40 is in fact an American 75mm M20 recoiless rifle

        Simon,

        Sorry I have no history other than a card where he logged in the man hours and materials used to restore the gun and mount. He does mention on the card Gebirgsflak 2cm similar to the 2cm flak 38.
        Thank you for the correction on the 75mm recoiless rifle. I can assume that the weapon was declared obsolete by the Bundeswehr and explains why it was cut up into pieces. The card that came with the photos probably applies to the second weapon on the table. Bill
