I know...sort of out of Forum, but I think it wouldn't have been 100% accepted of Firearms' one either!
Whatever...hope you enjoy these two excerpts from a documentary on the Italian Campaign!

Hello Manny and Steve

Nice pictures! Steve, any idea were this picture has been taken? During the battle of the bulge?


I have no garands to share, but I found 2 other pictures of allied ' beutewaffen' in use ( hope you don't mind Manny? )


quality is very bad, but scanner is broken so these are pictures of pictures....


First, a US 50.cal s.MG, they even wear US helmet-nets!


Cheers

Both pictures came from Uwe Feist his ' Die Wehrmacht'

Manny

P.S.;Theo...if you're reading this what about instead of your mysterious "cunning plan" ?I love the new smilies.........could we have more Seba?

[Theodor]

How could you ever have a thought that I may miss this? But it can not replace Blackadder's "cunnig plan" But a really good add-on though!

Jan, I don't know where the picture was taken, but the fellow on the right is wearing a jacket made of Italian camo. I've attached the picture again, but have blown it up.

Looks like somebody got themselves a nice war souvineer! The guy on the right I believe has a Fliegerbluse made from the camo, as the rest of the soldiers are Fallschirmjaeger, it would only make sense, and he looks like an officer, too.

[Patrick Dempsey]

Here is a quick one...

think he is a LW feld-division man. He's picked up an M1 carbine.

A side note. Last night on the History channel the subject matter was "Guns Used In Assasinations". A narrator showed a 1963 mail order catalog from which Lee Harvey Oswald ordered his $14 carcano, above that was a surplus M1 Garand for $89.00
