    I can understand them taking the weapons for good reason one may have been more fire power as the K-98 with only five rounds leaves a bit to be desired despite being highly accurate but your ammo supply is limited or subject to how many times you over run the enemies positions. No good being in a fire fight if your reduced to throwing stones at the apposing forces.

    Those would be Commonwealth then, we had the vertical grips until late. Probably not '21s though...

    Soldiers have always pilfered trophies in the form of enemy weapons...if those were taken in disarmament it would make sense why they would be in one lump...

    The USMC had some '21/'28s in service that had twin grips, those weren't in Europe though...
