Kevin,
It's a MG15 Aircraft machinegun. These were pressed into service in a ground role towards the latter part of the war.

LWFD were on all fronts in 1944 but most were located in the east fighting the Russians. There was a LWFD in Normandy but it was not a major force in it's defence.
Originally posted by organix View Postgreat photos! Did the LWFDs play a major role in the defence of Normandy in 1944? Or were they mainly stationed on the Eastern front?
