I enclose a photo of a Soviet Booty Park in Bucharest, established in late 1941.
Can anyone tell where was it located? ![]() The identification of the Soviet heavy anti-aircraft cannon would be excellent. Thanks, Gen. Dénes |

It's the Soviet 76,2mm M1931/39 AA gun.

Thanks for the hint.
Isn't it an 85 mm cannon instead? "In 1939 designer Dorokhin G.D. has created new air-defense system, having imposed a trunk of 85-mm gun on a 76-mm AA gun carriage mod. 1938." ![]() [Source: Henk of Holland] Gen. Dénes This post has been edited by Dénes on November 17, 2007 10:36 am |

Is in the front of Royal Palace ( today Piata Revolutiei). ![]() The ( red briks) church in the background is "Biserica Kretulescu". This post has been edited by Cantacuzino on November 17, 2007 12:18 pm |

The main difference between the Soviet 85mm and 76mm AA guns is that the M1939 85mm has a gas compensator on its muzzle and sometimes a shield as well. P.S: Unfortunately your posted image isn't visible for me ![]() |
