French Resistance Cache found

[Calif-Steve]

Anybody recall the weapons stashed in a mountain tunnel in the Austrian Alps discovered 8-10 years back? Found when the tunnel began leaking and the repair crew broke though a false wall. The final count of weapons was never released. The US Army placed them around various sites in Europe in the event of a USSR invasion. Never used, but not forgotten. Austrians contacted the US Embassy and the Military Attache arrived and took everything away. End of story.

Would be interesting to be very friendly with all the old ones in the area, or were in the area, to find out where those Brens are. Those Bren magazines have to fit somewhere.

I'll bet it's like around here, the stuff is still held in reserve waiting for the day they want to "Do Dodge City" in the front yard...

STENS were considered disposable. Surprisingly light rust considering where they've been for 70 years. Sad that the French Government is welding 'em into paper weights. Wonder where the Brens are.
There was some woman over there who had had an operational Tiger or Panther(forget which) in her garage until fairly recently too.
"...the governments in exile..." The French government in exile was De Gaulle. Who was self appointed. He wasn't actually elected until 1958.
