Title: Looking for pics of tripods for Parabellum LMG used for anti aircraft duty.
Post by: iwik on March 10, 2016, 03:44:55 AM

Hi y'all!
For a displpay next to a figure, I'd like to show a Parabellum on a tripod. Some, like Spandaus LMG, were used as anti aircraft weapons.
Thanks
Iwik

The site is BIG.
Any hint?

But actually I'm looking for pics of the tripods used ON THE GROUND as an anti aircraft gun. Like those used to protect observation ballons.

Sorry for my lousy first demand.

Ciao
IWik

While (whilst??) looking for details of Le Prieur rocket mountings to  reply to another  thread, I found a photo (Over the Front Vol 2 Number 2 Summer 1987, p.175)  that depicts a  close-in Drachen defense Parabellum (so captioned ) & gunner with the gun mounted on what is clearly a  tree with limbs cut off, or the post made from such a  tree driven in to the  ground.
Hth, Rob

Here are some photos I found that may be of some use to you iwik, not exactly what you are looking for but you might get a few ideas from them.
