    Hello! Finally opened this thread, not many good stuff today though.

    Today im in my city park, Maksimir. There were quite heavy fights in the area in 1945. Im digging around 12 batteries that had ammo stored in them, the Ustashe defended them against partisans.

    What amazes me all the time is the ammount of unfired 6.5 Carcano rounds, whe did they throw them away? Almost every time i come i find at least 10 pieces.

    The last two are not blanks but for Italian mortar Brixia, ( pogonski naboj kot za tromblon) is an propolse (ignition) cartridge like the gun granades, GGG.
