Well, they had 47MM guns.. We Belgians had a policy of not fielding big strong tanks, so the T-13's where light tanks
They where actually pretty good, one T-13 near Brussels took out 4 Panzers and giving Troops time to escape. Yet we had to few of them

All tales that are lost in the international world.


yea, and the belgians didn't have any shells for those guns either. This is due to the fact only one factory in the world produced them, and it was captured at the start of the invasion.

Intact all belgian guns had odd calibres, and all shells where made in the same factory (I think FN).
My grandfather was in the artillery regiment, but he surly didn't fire to many shells, because they practically had none .... 
The Belgian army was like this yes. Very well equipped in terms of light equipment(FN Mausers, BAR's etc) We even had some bofors wich brought down quiet some planes

But in terms of Artillery......Tanks......... This is where we failed.

Our airforce was decent, as even with old outdated biplanes, they still got some kills, and the Few hurricanes we had remaining, shot down a few kills of their own.

but ye, we dint had tanks, and not enough aircraft. These things won world war 2.

Well, what we had? ;)

Nature and booze. The other 2 vital things. Planes made our natural advance useless. Good ol' Water Linie.

Romanian infantry during the leaving Moldavia in August 1944.In 1944 gen.Antonescu was deprived of the power in country and the war between Romania and Germay broke out -to put it briefly,Romania changed the sides and became Germany's enemy.

Notice that the soldier are using rifles "Mosin".The basic Romanian rifle was "Mauser wz.24"

It´s funny to see that the Bundeswehr uses nearly the same binoc design. Just like we still use the same pick-pot design, German troops used since atleast WW1.

MG42  is basically the same thing as MG3 just has some improvements

Ach, MG3..it´s a bit overrated, IMO. Sure, it´s rugged and reliable, but also heavy as shit and it´s difficult to shoot. Plus, the MG4 doesn´t completely replace it, the MG3 will still be used as a support MG on vehicles and Lafette mounts (another thing we kept from WW2).
EDIT: To stay on topic:
