The commies used a lot of captured axis equipment in Korean war. They used a large number of japanese rifles and reportedly even armed japanese war prisoners with them and put them to fight on their side. Also in one book there was a story about a b-26 that was targeted by a 88mm AA gun firing radar fuzed shells. One shell exploded amongst the bombload that the plane had just released.

Maybe somebody have of information or pictures of German panzerfausts used in Korea?
After 1945 panzerfausts were produced in Poland, than sudenly all somewhere disapeared. There are two possiblities:
1) were destroyed (but no reason to do that)
2) were shipped to Korea (but officially destroyed)

Today are only 2 survived panzerfausts made in Poland.

One it's:

Captured German airborne uniforms were used by partisan forces in Korea. Uniforms were obtained from US warehouses in Korea and provided to the Koreans partisans to wear. I am currently assisting in conducting research for a book on the 8240th Army Unit and what was used can be found below.

Go to: http://www.botrmilitaria.com/#!the-8240th-au/c1mj8
When it opens, click the first 8240TH ARMY UNIT site that appears. There are four sections. Click on any section and you will find the content as described.

You can also find us on facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/8240thAU

IF you have any information to add please contact me.
