 falkenberg001.jpgNarvik - Sætermoen5568 viewsThe following photos are taken in the Narvik/ Setermoen area in Northern Norway summer/ autumn 1939. My late grandfather was an officer in the AAA (FlaK) on neutrality guard duty.
This one shows two soldiers manning a license-produced Colt machinegun M/29 (7,62mm/ .30 cal). These were used for low-level defence for the Bofors 40 mm guns.

 falkenberg027.jpgRukan2048 viewsRjukan again. Live firing. Note the machinegun strapped to the barrel, much more economical to practise with than using 40mm rounds. Incidentally, this technique was "re-discovered" in the Norwegian Air Force in the late 80s, then using L-70 guns with MG-3s (M-42). The inventive officer was given a cash price and a diploma for the idea! History repeats itself....
