The Luftwaffe was down towards the end of the list when it came to getting standard German weapons. It's well documented that the Luftwaffe issued captured arms to the guards at their PoW camps, for example.<BR/><BR/>A couple of rifles for use by sentries at an AA gun site, who would not be expecting to defend against anything other than locals with sabotage on their minds, would seem quite possible.<BR/><BR/>Or, given the missing parts, they were broken down after the war by someone who wanted the parts but didn't want to be caught with a couple of unregistered rifles?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048766465754325233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091406631501080795.post-77734501371923373992008-06-13T07:48:00.000-07:002008-06-13T07:48:00.000-07:00Rails on floor, long tunnel, on top of hill...V1 l...Rails on floor, long tunnel, on top of hill...<BR/><BR/>V1 launching ramp?<BR/><BR/>or storage facility possibly<BR/><BR/>Where does it point at?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948850296187399712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091406631501080795.post-19240813947945714982008-06-13T04:26:00.000-07:002008-06-13T04:26:00.000-07:0033,000 hits?
