Two pictures of a rather rare Br-2 152mm gun. On the first photo the Head of Artillery of the Leningrad Front Lieutenant-General G.F. Odintsov stands in front of the gun (center), on the second - the personnel of Captain Amelichev's battery which employed such guns snd served as a counter-battery fire unit on the Leningrad Front. Both pictures were taken in the courtyard of the Siege of Leningrad museum, founded in 1943 and destroyed in 1949-1951 at Stalin's order in the aftermath of the Leningrad Affair. Alexander Shmidke
