    MG08/15 ''feeding''.

    The MG08/15 was belt fed by 2 methods. The slide on drum (trommel) which held 100 round belts, although there was/is a much scarcer 50 rd version, or, the most common belt fed method of 250 rds using the same belt as the larger MG08.
    Attached some views of the trommel and standard belt fed.
