Stuka Zu Fuss Reloads

Post by grunt1 » Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:48 pm

Anyone know if "extra" ammunition for the Stuka Zu Fuss rocket system was stored in the launcher crates, or in some other type of container?

Open this link and scroll down to the black and white photo of the Zu Fuss firing one of it's rockets... http://wilk.wpk.p.lodz.pl/~whatfor/sdkfz_251_ausf_C.htm
Notice the rather large pile of empty crates to the right of the vehicle, looking at that pile there does not appear to be any sort of containers other than the crates.

Wow, fast answers and a great set of photos.. Thank you both, gentlemen! :D

PS: Ost, remember that Aferg's bed is in the middle of the room so on any given day there is a 50/50 chance he will roll out on the wrong side.. ;)
