Hi. Can agree with you on them not wanting wastage and overheating. As for the danish army. Extra barrel is carried for both types of MG. I have never seen a damage from overheating on a .50 cal but I have seen a few on the MG1962. Barrel first becomes soft from the heat and can simply bend and beco...

(7.62 mm) To the best of my knowlegde I have never ever heard of anybody being able to fi...

Hi.
Thanks PK. But you also did well.

And Waleed.
The last seconds of Yamoto was correct. (Reminds me so of HMS Hood.)
Would have liked to hear those canons being fired :D :D :D

Looking forward to the next riddle.

Hi.

The man you are looking for is Roy Alexander Farran, aka Patrick McGinty.
Picture was taken in Norway 1945.
Armour from the wreck of Mr Farran's tank is embedded as part of a wall just off the town square in Galatas.
Hope this settles things.

Hello Knox. First. Well done on my riddle. Knew it became to easy when first i posted a pic of Beate in a cockpit. She is one of my absolute favourites, when one also has her post war activities in mind. (Birth control etc etc., and first of a special kind of shop.) The Siebel 104 aircraft was a hin...

And we have a winner! The Stalingrad sword must be the best known of them all, and as far as I know the only one to have been dropped on the ground (accidently) while being presented to its new owners. As for A. Beevor being a connection, well yes, a very recent one. Not what I had in mind, but also...

Hi P. Pic 2 being a wall in the Reichstag is correct. As for pic 1, you are correct. But which sword??? One is surely more known that others. As for the connection between the two pics, it is not so much a direct connection. The pics are more symbols of "places" that have a connection. And...
