Default Re: Fliegerhorst Gilze-Rijen. Archaeology & Research.

Nice find indeed. Many Hotchkiss were captured, repainted and reused by the Germans. They were stationned in Southwestern France until 1941 when thye were sent to other countries (possibly Holland too) On their way they stopped in Paris and these was a massive German Hotchkiss parade there. I don't know what happened to these units. My guess would be the Ostfront.
