The rest were dumped into the sea.
Every story I have heard said after WWII was over the guns were dumped into the North Sea, but nothing was said about those that were returned to the US.
Supposedly the guns were dumped in 1947.
Would you or others here have information about the number returned vs those that were destroyed or dumped into the sea ?
I believe read this story a few years in the AMERICAN RIFLEMAN.
