            <description><![CDATA[Second Army Tennessee Maneuvers. 3 miles west of Watertown. As an addition to the battalion's defense, HQ Co. of the 5th Armd Maint Bn developed an idea thought up by Ordernance Sgt. Magazine. The 37mm gun is the only field weapon allotted for the battalion's defense. To increase firepower, a 50 cal. Machine gun was mounted on the front of the 37mm gun vehicle. All parts were made and mounted by HQ personnel. (6 Jun 43) Signal Corps Photo: 164-0012-43-204 (Pvt. J. F. Albert)Though, I&nbsp;gotta admit, my shins hurt just looking at the guy manning the machine gun.&nbsp; One slip...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[The trick was to mount the 37mm so that it could fire down on the lightly-armored top or into the engine deck of the later models.. As in, putting it in an Il-2 or a Hurricane MkII.<br />
<br />
Think of the Il-2 as an anti-tank gun with wings that got shot down a lot...<br />]]>

                <![CDATA[Oh, about&nbsp;any of the Japanese and Italian&nbsp;stuff, and up through the early Pzkw IIIs, anyway.&nbsp; The 37mm in the Stuart and Lee gave good service against the lighter tanks in the desert.&nbsp; The uparmored III's, IV's, and beyond, not so good except by being much closer than the gun crew would like, and even then...]]>

                <![CDATA[Wolfwalker - 6 June, 1943 is what the caption says.&nbsp; And yes, there is little that is practical about that .50 cal mount.<br />
<br />
Og - there is a guy who makes repro 37mm with mounts for this installation.&nbsp; The front end wouldn't have been hard to fabricate, either.<br />

Boq - gee, thanks for that...&nbsp; not.]]>
