A rare photo of a Maxson M45 in Paris. The quadmount guns were designed to shoot down low-flying aircraft coming into strafe. The photo's taken under the Conciergerie's towers, August or September 1944. Anybody got some other photos of US Army in Paris during the fall of 44?

One 50 cal machine gun is very powerful, four could be devastating, used against ground targets as well.
