drakegoodman Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Gentlemen, I believe this apparatus to be a battery powered signal lamp fitted to a periscope, but I'm not a hundred percent. Has anyone got any alternative ideas? Better still, can anyone positively identify it. I assume the Germans gave it at least a five syllable name. >>w.

Chris Boonzaier Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Wow... both of those are fantastic! The first one looks to be just as you described it, the second one looks like a periscop that is belt fed with 37mm rounds :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Chris, I think those might be flare rounds in the second photo. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
