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.
Thanks. The guy with the Thompson was guarding a bridge crossing, with a couple of others carrying MP-38 or 40’s. I saw the muzzle....definetly not K-98. That’s why I always look to see if I can ID Schulz’s gun. He always drags it around by the muzzle and I couldn’t tell.
