MG34's

Another photo found on fb depicting a group of 4 MG34's in the Nord-african desert.Three out of four have an AA visor mounted but are not in the correct configuration to be used against aircraft.The one mounted on the sustained fire feldlafette should be mounted on a vertical extention allowing the gunner upward fire at 360°.One can just see the monting for that extension leg just above the cushions on the front leg.The two on the ground with the AA visor could have been mounted on a Dreyfuss tripod and so be used agaist threads from the air.Only the left one is ready to use against groundforces.Also note the 250 round cannisters of ammo.One can also see the open vastness of the land making attack over such open ground very hazardous,certainly when confronted with these fastfiring MG's in concealed widerstandnests.
