Pre-War intel gathering - Germany and foreign small arms

#1

Post by Poot » 10 Dec 2013, 18:37

All,
I'm currently researching the German use of small arms Beutewaffen acquired from conquered nations. Following collection, analysis and assessment, information on these arms could then be included in the various 'Kennbläter fremden gerät' published as reference material on foreign arms.

Does anyone know how the information was collected in the pre-war period, or prior to Germany's (combat) involvement in those particular countries? I would assume this task would fall to the Abwehr, but I don't know for sure. Any help would be appreciated.
Best,
Pat
