Defensive machineguns in luftwaffe bombers
I have two questions if anyone can help?
1) What was the normal ammount of MG15 saddle drums carried in a 1940 HE111H or JU88A-4?
2) I have always thought that by 1942 the Luftwaffe had stopped using the 7.92 round for bomber defense and started to favour the 13mm as the lowest calibre to be used. However I know that on some late war Luftwaffe aircraft crashes in the UK...1943/44/45.... MG15's and ammunition drums have been found or at least 7.92 ammunition.
Would these have been factory fitted or field fitted to desperatley try and increase the bombers defense ?
