A set of pictures of crashed Luftwaffe planes during the Battle of Britain

Troops guard the wreck of Heinkel He 111P (W.Nr 1582: G1+FR)
 of 7./KG 55, which was shot down during an attack on Great
Western Aerodrome (now Heathrow)
 and crash-landed at High Salvington near Worthing, 16 August 1940
"During the Battle of Britain it is estimated that the Royal Air Force shot down 1887 German planes. Some planes crashed nose first into the ground and were completely obliterated but other pilots manged to crash land and remained relatively intact.

These planes were prized trophies for propaganda reasons but also to learn more about the German planes and it’s technology. Last but not least, the remains were recycled back into new planes for the RAF, the crashed planes were full of metals that Britain desperately needed to survive.
The crashed planes were photographed and cataloged and then removed, here are 22 of the best images we could find!"

The Story of Heinkel He111. Armament. Part 6. German Dzib -Compiler-




MG 15 in left beam mounting inside a Ju 52, and above it storage brackets for 12 MG 15 magazines, with one magazine mounted.

Guns

MG 15

he MG 15 was a German 7.92 mm machine gun designed specifically as a hand manipulated defensive gun for combat aircraft during the early 1930s. By 1941 it was replaced by other types and found new uses with ground troops.

History

The MG 15 was developed from the MG 30 which was designed by Rheinmetall using the locking system invented by Louis Stange in the mid to late 1920s. Though it shares the MG 15 designation with the earlier gun built by Bergmann, the MG 15nA (for neuer Art, meaning new model having been modified from an earlier design) has nothing in common with the World War II gun except the model number. The World War I gun used a tipping lock system while the WWII aircraft gun uses a rotating bolt/lockring. The World War II MG 15 was used in nearly all Luftwaffe aircraft with a flexible-mount defensive position.
