German ammunition box
Description
This is a piece of equipment for a 7.62 cm Russian howitzer; the Germans captured many such guns as spoils of war (known as *Beute*) and manufactured their own crates for them. This particular specimen comes from the Ardennes (near Malmedy), so it has an interesting history.
The crate was used for the transport and storage of 76.2 mm caliber cartridges, which had been seized by the Wehrmacht from Red Army stockpiles and subsequently adapted for, or utilized in, German service (for example, with modernized Soviet 76 mm guns).
Inscription on the crate: Patr. 762 cm Jnf. Kan. Haub. 290 (r) (Patrone / cartridge for a captured Russian/Soviet 7.62 cm infantry gun or howitzer, where (r) stands for *russisch* – Russian/Soviet).
