Kev in Deva Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 The overgrowth is a result of the hot wet weather this spring, Isurmise it will be cropped soon.The gun is located next to some monuments dedicated to men from the area who fought in WW2.Kevin in Deva.

Brian Wolfe Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi Kevin,Now that's what I need for my backyard! It would look great half hidden in the wooded area pointing at that snooty neighbour next door. Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IMHF Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Here is a picture of Tun antitanc DT-UDR 26 (Resita), calibrul 75 mm, model 1943, a little modified. I received this picture from a Romanian soldier I am serving with in Iraq. It was taken in Timisoara, Romania.For more information check this site out:http://www.worldwar2.ro/arme/?article=310Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly one of them seems to have been hit (but no penetration) by a burst of machine gun fire on the splinter shield, the indentations being visible when you catch the light at a certain angle.The yellow sign on the gun shield is not military related but a peace sign representing this area as a point of interest connected to the Peoples Revolution of 1989.http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...st&p=162889Kevin in Deva. :beer: Edited July 26, 2008 by Kev in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
