I haven't come across anythin of interest for quite a while, but I did just -
- Thread starter Gspragge
- Start date
Near Jüterbog was a large and well known Prussian artillery firing range. It's not very far from me. Later Jüterbog was almost surrounded by firing ranges and ammunition depots and other military facilities. When the Russians left in the 1990's everything was abandoned. Some areas are still forbidden to enter.
I picked it up today and was quite pleased to see that the clours were vibrant.
The glass was gone and the frame needs a little care but overall quite good.
Interesting detail is the mobile turret image. These aside from many exports were emplaced in the trenches later in the war.
I haven't managed to identify his shoulder strap insignia yet.
I likely posted this smaller but comparable Russian example a few years ago but here it is again for
those who missed it.
