DUal 128mms:P  They were on the flaktowers in berlin, I do hope to see them there someday in FH2 :P

Oh wow. Medal of Honor Airborne lead me to believe they were mythical!

nope, they actually existed. a few are still up today, but MoH:A's 'Flakturm' was grossly oversized. 
Flakturm, now a climbing wall.
  Being restored


I SO want to see this ingame.

There must be a interesting story behind this pic.

Captured T34 and Russian PoWs digging graves for their dead comrades?

Under the watchfull eye of a German Soldier.

Yep, that's probably the case.  While russian POWs were horrible mistreated in the POW camps and the long marches back to the camps, in the frontlines they were normally well taken care of by the Wehrmacht, though the SS not so much....

According to Guy Sajer Russian POWs were used to bury the German dead and anyone caught taking something from the body of a German soldier was shot on the spot.

Of course there were plenty of cases where they weren't mistreated as well...eg Henry Metelman describes a conversation he had with a captured Soviet NCO who was being exchanged at the frontlines for a captured German NCO.
