British troops with captured Hotchkiss MG, Caen
Here we see a group of British soldiers operating a Hotchkiss Mle 1914 machine gun that had been captured from the Germans during the fighting in Caen. The gun must originally have been captured from either the French or the Poles and put into German service, where it was known as the 8mm sMG 257(f).
