Hi

I have seen on a series hosted by Burt Lancaster, about the Eastern Front.....it had a shot of a quad .50 being fired at a building....very impressive. We must have sent them some of the units.

Regards

Bill

Hi Bill: The Soviets definitely had plenty of the M17 Machine Gun Motor Carriage with the Maxson M45 quad .50 turret.

I was inquiring about the towed M51 version -- and it appears none of those were sent to the Sovs.

Plus, I always skeptical of documentary footage
