The man on the left with the German holster, that looks like a web sling on his M1 rifle ? There was a recent discussion on the CMP forums about web slings being used in WW2 on M1 Rifles, one
man argued with everyone and anyone that they were "not" used in WW2 !
There are too many WW2 photos showing use of web sling for the claim to be true it is humorous that this question repeats it self every few years

There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
