Yeah! Utilize the 1250 RPM!

A little of everything...M40s stick grenades, the guns, a rifle.... Looks like it was an enemy position and I wonder if they're actually examining things?

[BEAR]

I'd like to own that camouflaged German helmet to the left of the foxhole.

[matthanne1]

Interesting that it would have 2 MG42s and I can see why the feldtelefon is there, but why a radio?

[browningautorifle]

but why a radio

There's lots of gear there and from what I see, that hole has had lots of use, extended... 2xMGs, two or three helmets, a rifle and another possible SMG there, grenade plus...it speaks of a position that's got substantial manning and permanence... I think these guys are having an Int. search...

[matthanne1]

granted, there is a good observation possibility

[Paul S.]

... I think these guys are having an Int. search...

Agreed, give the interest given to the radio in particular.

[henry r]

i really wouldn't want to be tasked with coming up that gully against 2 MG42's.

I wonder what happened to the original occupants. is that blood down the wall between the two guys? either way it doesn't look like they were expecting trouble and there isn't brass everywhere.

[browningautorifle]

I wonder what happened to the original occupants.

Hard to say, I do see cartridge brass there though.
