Fn-Mauser rifle used by the Belgian Army till 1940.

FN-Mauser model 1889

I couldn't find out where exactly this photo was taken but the story behind is this.In May 1940 some Belgian soldiers were waiting next to a Belgian T13 tank with a defective drive train and broken aimingdevice.They were waiting for the first Germans to appear under the railroadbridge.They looked through the open barrel of the 47mm gun and when that lined up with the German recon vehicle,loaded and shot .After the direct hit they ran away as if the devil was chasing them .

Belgium May 1940(2)

Today is the anniversary of the end of civil war in Spain. 
So i'd like to post a set of picture about el Desfile de la Victoria.
Victory parade in Madrid, may 1939. Here the tribune of authorities and Francisco Franco saluting the troops. Note the Moroccan guards.
