      Axe with wheels could belong to soviet F22 76,2 mm howitser ammo box. Look here for clues: http://ww2.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=824098

        Most of the parts in the first post are from a 8,8 cm FlaK 18/36/37, I can tell you more when I get home from work.

          THe big wheels and the supports look like a French gun from mid 30s. Captured equipment perhaps.

          Im no expert in artillery.

            OK, as I said, many of the parts are from 8,8 cm FlaK 18/36/37:

            A - Left cradle support
            B - Not sure, but could be the ball bearings for the traverse
            C - One of the pads for the cross legs (I think this square design was a late FlaK 36 feature)
            D - The small elevation gear
            E - Recuperator that sits on top of the barrel

            The things in the middle of the picture between A and D could be connecting rods for a big engine, the small ball bearing between B and C is probably for the small elevation gear.

            Not sure about the other parts.
