[jh-ss44]

Hello to all !
any one have a list of which zone of occupation , each of the k98 makers found themselves in after the war ?
(longer list of all firearm makers might be nice)

I really thought I had this list but, can't find it.
Thank you.

going off the top of my head...
Mauser o. French.
Suhl makers Russian
beriin Russian.\
Lubeck England
Czech Russian.. occupied.
Austrian. usa.

Of course all of southern/central, Czech areas were liberated by the USA. but handed over to the Russians.

Suhl/Zella Mellis was the Mecca for german small arms manufacturing and the USA had the area at a critical time and most of the good stuff ended up in the USA. Walther later moved to ULM which was in west Germany.
