Not to be difficult, but this pic is not from 1940. I'm interested in where it was obtained.

I'm interested in where it was obtained. 😄That's from a movie, the 1969 The Battle of Britain, a sequence when the Germans got the Allies on the run. I was just doing my customary goofing around 😆 I did the same with the two other color photos, these being from Patton the other The Battle of the Bulge 😊.
Backtheattack Posted October 11, 2020 #108 Posted October 11, 2020 Not only the germans used foreign equipment, the american 83rd division was called the "Rag Tag Circus" in 1945 because of the use of every german vehicle they can find, who gave them at least 90% of the speed of the 2nd armored divison on their race to the Elbe.

patches Posted May 24, 2021 #110 Posted May 24, 2021 Just found this one, again, not a weapon, but here's a German Medic captured in the Ardennes, check out what he he using as Medical Pouches, he ain't got the standard German ones like these and this for whatever reason, so he cleverly is using two captured G.I. Leather Binocular Cases instead.

Its seen in its entirety in a episode of the 73-74 seminal British ITV TV series The World at War, the Episode called Pincers (August 1944 – March 1945), but its no longer viewable on YT anymore for some reason, from what I could see, other episodes are but not this one. It is however viewable here.
