Interesting footnote

Capture 6.JPG

In the autumn of 1944, when the Volkssturm battalions were formed in Germany, 2891 pieces of 6.5-mm Lewis M1920 machine guns from
the arsenals of occupied Holland were transferred to arm them.

Akte 217. Anordnungen und Weisungen der Abteilung der Luftwaffe der Deutschen Arbeitsfront über die weltanschauliche Schulung der MItarbeiter, Familienheimfahrten der ausländischen Arbeitskräfte u. a. Fragen.

Befehle und Kampfanweisungen des Kommandos des deutschen Volkssturmes und der einzelnen Einheiten für die Verteidigung Berlins.

A most fascinating file with over 188 pages on original documents on one Volkssturm-Bataillon 3/607 // Kampf-Bataillon Graupmann. I have only included the documents that spell Volkssturm. Most relate to just Kampf-Bataillon Graupmann which is the Volkssturm-Bataillon 3/607.
