I was looking for some information when the below listed equipment was taken in use by the Rumanian Army:

37mm Rheinmetall antiaircraft gun model 1939

50mm Pak 38 anti-tank gun model 1938

9mm Beretta submachine-gun model 1938

81.4mm Brandt mortar model 1939

7.92mm ZB light machine-gun model 1930

7.92mm Maschinengewehr 34 light machine-gun

I know these weapons were available before 41. But was wondering if they were already in use in 39 or that they were "given/bought" just before operation Barabarossa.

Thanks for any info you guys can give me!

Thanks. Dragos!

Perhaps an idea of putting this on the site next to the info it already has?

It gives a more accurate view of the weapons the romanian army had when it got involved bin the war and in the rest of the war.

May I ask another five?

105mm Schneider field gun model 1936

150mm Skoda field howitzer model 1934

Pignone flame-thrower model 1937

105mm Skoda mountain howitzer model 1939

88mm Krupp antiaircraft gun model 1936 (Ithought 1942??)

Both were in service as early as 1937. However the motorized heavy artillery battalions were formed in 1938.
