bldrhouse Posted November 24, 2024 #1 Posted November 24, 2024 German press photo of the Atlantic Wall; unfortunately, no location. Any idea what artillery piece is shown in the photo? fyi, the caption reads:
Proud Kraut Posted November 24, 2024 #2 Posted November 24, 2024 The round 2-chamber muzzle break of this gun seems to have similar features as the one of the Soviet 76 mm divisional gun ZIS-3. The Wehrmacht captured several hundreds of ZIS-3, one of the best anti tank guns in WW II. For several reasons captured guns were prefered used in fortifications like the Atlantic wall. So maybe it´s this gun but I have to do more research.
