Polish Mauser" Where? I see an M-1 carbine and the muzzle end of something under it. Got a sustained look at Sgt Schultz' weapon on Hogan's Heroes last night. A Krag-Jorgensen. I swear I've seen German troops with Thompsons.

The Germans captured a lot of Thompsons from the French and British early in the war, and from the Americans also, later. I’ve seen photos of German troops carrying Thompsons, usually guard troops, since ammo was a specialty item.
The front sight on the rifle on the bottom of the pile looks Polish, Spanish, or German.
