I was getting some pics together for an article on Greek use of Carcanos & happened on this pic of what might be Greek Partisans using a French Chauchat MG. They might also be Serbs or Chetniks, I'm not sure. Still, the last place I thought I'd see one of these. I clearly recall ads in gun mags pre-68 selling these for $20 + shipping. SW

They pretty much had to be. If captured by the Germans, they were dead. Hung mostly. In the Time-Life series on WW2, there are some haunting pics that way in the book on partisans. SW |

Sellers was good in that movie, but my favorite part was Slim Pickins riding the nuke down. SW |
