Hello
All in one lot - from the same source.
All found after the death of this old member of the resistance, together with a lot of papers, maps, also some US carabines, explosives enough to lay his house in ruins etc. etc.
The EOD team had to remove the explosives, and the rest ended up in our museum
We are currently trying to put the story together, so we can find out where it all came from. A lot of it has been dropped in containers by the RAF thats for sure, but where did he have the german weapons from?
Stolen from german soldiers or depot maybe?
But what interest us the most is the color of the MP44 - not usually painted in this color?
BTW: "What about the Soviet semi-auto rifle in the first picture?"
This one does not belong to this lot, but has come from another source - just arrived at the same time, and i really do not know its story.
Maybe Dan can fill in here?
Regards
Kurt
