Thanks for posting that one I wanted to post it too but I couldn`t find it anymore between my links guess I have really too much :-)

I can really recommend this page as it shows every inch of the cannon. I have done an 88 a couple of years ago and from what I have read they dug them in a lot (as AT cannon). The silhouette of the gun was immensely increased that way while everything from an inch under the barrel to the emplacement where it was on was under groundlevel. My dio showed a Dugged in 88 at normandy in the dunes and the crew was eating and resting around it.

Faust - no problem - glad you posted it in the first place

Good information on the positioning of the 88. I've got one on the shelf that needs some attention. You've started the ideas rollin'

You may want to tweak your subject title a little better. My first thought was that you wanted pictures of the tracked recovery vehicle (M88).

Here are some in action that I have found along my travels looking for the same thing you were. Hope this helps, GR8Voyager
