Hi to all,
as a German relic hunter I cannot contribute much in terms of CW finds but I can show some WW II items in case someone is interested. The following items were found at a retreat route of a SS division. The picture shows
fired round of a German 8.8 cm / 3.46" anti aircraft gun
empty German "egg" hand grenade M38.
Italian Carcano bayonet
possible carrying device for 8.8 cm grenades
German Machine pistol MP 40 "Schmeisser"
Italian Carcano rifle 6.5 mm / 0.256"
leather bullet pocket for German K98 rifle ammunition. K98 was the German standard weapon in WW II
All found firearms have been reported to the authorities. The rifle was disarmed by a gunsmith. The MP was handed over to the authorities. To avoid misunderstandings I will repeat this in German at the end of this posting. Hope somebody enjoyed it.
Greetings from Germany,
Thorsten
