Interesting WW1 German military photos

[Ron Smith]

I've added two more photos above.

Here's one that is kind of interesting. A German Fliegerabwehr (Anti Aircraft) unit with two captured St. Entiene 1907/16 French machine guns at La Ferte. Fliegerabwehr units were formed in early (Jan.) 1917 for static defense against air attack. This card is dated May 1917.

I have a 1917 Erfurt marked to the 17th Section 3rd Company Flamga Abteilung 912. This is a very rare unit mark applied after unit marking was ordered to cease. I wish I could determine which unit is in the photo. This very Luger could have been in one of those holsters.
