Those are EXCELLENT pics...

[Tom in N.J.]

The German forces in Italy made wide use of Italian camo material for field made garments. I can not tell the color, but it could be Italian material. The 'Hermann Goring' panzer division made wide use of Italian and SS camo material after their transfer to Italy.

I'm not liking those pics one bit. It's just the thoughts of how they got into their hands.

Had the same thought but they probably did not get to enjoy their trophys.

That poses the question of whether or not there was a German bring back of a M1

[browningautorifle]

I would think no, upon capitulation, they were sort of screened out of bringing back much of anything. Even a pocket knife would have been taken...
