Hello everyone, I need some help for my thesis.
Below is a gallery with pictures of weapons found in a German occupied quarry during WW2 in Greece. Those weapons were abandoned there when Germans left the site.
My main question is if those are Allied or Axis, as it would be very helpful to know if Germans stored there, their own weapons or weapons they have confiscated from local Resistance fighters.
Thanks a lot for your input.
I am a professional historian and a serving army reservist, and in both capacities there is only one conclusion here:
THESE SHELLS ARE VERY DANGEROUS.
This is ammunition, and regardless of origin or provenance it is incredibly dangerous. In one of the photos you can even see the explosive propellant (the "sticks" poking out from within one of the shells). Even after the better part of a century, these are still liable to explode - time may also easily have rendered them less stable than they were to begin with. Do not touch them.
This is not a joking matter.
STAY AWAY FROM THE LOCATION. CALL THE POLICE.
AT ONCE.
