Do you have any more info regarding the above pic. Ive seen it so many times would be good if I knew some history surrounding it?

Looks like Holland.

Is that a big picket fence or are those tiny soldiers LOL.

I've asked around military forums but nobody knows for sure where the 37mm Pak photo was taken, some say France 1940, others say the Ukraine and Yugoslavia.. take your pick..

Cheers for that.... still a great pic though... do you reckon its been staged??

Anyone any idea what it is thats burning in the distance?

Could be staged.. I know if I was in charge of the crew I'd get 'em to rip up a bush or leafy branch or two to put in front of the gun for camouflage, and I'd put more foliage dotted around the area so the enemy wouldn't know which shrubbery was hiding the gun..
On the other hand if the crew are just shooting up harmless trucks that can't fire back as seems to be happening here,camo is hardly needed..
