Good evening gents… my latest pick up, a photo album of an East German artillery flak regiment. This is something which especially appeals to me, as just four years after this album was assembled, I too joined a light air defence regiment. The album dates from circa 1964 to 1965, and the equipment shown is the KS-19 100 mm flak gun with the ATS-59 tracked vehicle used as the towing unit. In total there are 62 photographs in the album which covers various stages of bringing the equipment into action. Apologies for the quality of the pictures, but that was deliberate on my part… I wanted to make sure that they couldn’t be copied and sold as originals. Unfortunately such practices are quite common these days!

Cheers,
Steve
