Caption of photo 9 should read “35 miles west of Stalingrad” not east.
I concur with Brendan. You know, you’ve got some real Stalingrad buffs looking at this stuff. Good Sir, I did not spot that one!
Wigand Wuster’s (Vigand Vuster’s in English spelling/pronunciation) artillery piece is a 15cm (6in) heavy howitzer. German designation is 15cm schweres Feld Haubitzer K 18 [15cm sFH K 18]. It was a standard gun in the Deutche Heer (German Army).
