Could be, it would explain why the rear sight is so close to the end of the barrel. I can’t see a sight hood on the front sight tho, could be removed? Idk if Russians did that
Following their operational jump on the island of Elba, the paratroopers of III./Fallschirm-Jäger-Regiment 7 of Major (Major) Hübner gather to the port of Portoferraio. The parachutists win the port with all means of locomotion found on site (mules, cabs, bicycles, cars or trucks). This paratrooper fighter is armed with an Italian rifle Mannlicher-Carcano model 38 (not visible in the picture). The jumping jacket has an additional non-regulatory pocket.Date: September 17-30, 1943 Location: Elba Island, Italy
Quote from: nysä on 19-10-2018, 08:10:48It must've been such a surrealistic experience for some regular German soldiers. Enlisting with pride to serve their fatherland and being hailed as heroes and mighty conquerors during the first years of the war, only to slowly start realising their leader is a madman that is leading the nation into its defeat and that they are actually serving an evil party that is exterminating people by the millions.
