Fantastic pictures, as always....
Although as far as the event itself is concerned, i have some second thoughts about it...

Re: POLAND/Warsaw Uprising 1944 - 2008
Very good photo's. Are you allowed to fire blanks over there? I say that because one of the shots was of an MG42 with a belt of rounds attached that were definately not blanks. Was that just a posed shot?Przemyslaw wrote:http://www.szymczuk.pl/b/pw01/index.htm
It's not real... it's called re-enacting!
Re: POLAND/Warsaw Uprising 1944 - 2008
The photo was staged in a sense that a belt of deact ammo was used to simulate look of weapon being fired.
Generally we use blanks. Due to harsh weapon laws all blank firers might only be rented from specialised companies. Blank firers are treated as normal weapons. One might apply for weapon permit but its extremely hard to get one.
Blank-firing MGs are very very rare. We usually use special pyrotechnics to simulate firing or concealed 'second' gun firing blanks (like AK47s or RPK machine guns).
BTW, todays 64th anniversary of Warsaw Uprising start (1 Aug. 1944, 1700 hrs).

Ok, here we go.
On 2nd August 1944, uprisers tried to seize a battery of 8.8 flak stationed in the suburbs of Warsaw, on the right bank of Vistula, just on the way of advancing Soviets. Battery was manned by LW flak unit, supported by close-by units of Panzergrenadiers, just returning from the frontline.
We tried to recreate those events...
