War trophies

to my knowledge, you could and just had to have a certain superior approve of it.

This is the exact reason why you see STG44's still circulating the transferable MG market. Hell, a Vietnam war bringback of a true Russian AK-47 is listed for $55,000.

>>34651583
That's how we got them here in a lot of cases, duder.
Why we have no many Arisakas and shit too.

>>34651583
stop watching that shit movie now and just watch band of brothers instead

>>34651583

I think it was generally permissible back then to bring back stuff, so long as it doesn't breech some international agreements or break any other sort of law in your home country. I would imagine there would be some restrictions on bringing back items or weapons that were sought after for their technology/intelligence implications, like an enigma machine or if you had one of the first captured enemy weapons, and the military wanted to reverse engineer it or something. Hikock45 has a video of him shooting a brought-back luger.

According to a ww2 vet I talked to it depended on your unit. In his you could ship home as many rifles as you wanted, but the limit for pistols was set to two by the CO because people were doing stupid shit to try and get Lugers.

>>34651712
>people were doing stupid shit to try and get Lugers
would you mind telling the stories?

People brought back tons of grenades and Jap skulls. Should give you an idea of how well the rules were enforced.

My grandpa shipped back a whole crate of Mausers after his unit found a weapon cache in France. His CO didn't give a fuck at all apparently.

He held onto those Mausers until the 80's and sold the whole crate to some collector for enough money to buy a Porsche.

You fucking what?

>>34652766
Jesus Christ that's amazing

Yes OP, back in WWII guys could ship back captured guns as long as they got approval from their CO, and given how many guns made in back here it seems most COs had no problem with it.

That is where so many Gew98s, Kar98ks, Arisakas, Lugers, etc all came from, and also where things like original automatic Stg44s, MP40s, and MG42s came in as well, though it seems in smaller numbers. I imagine aside from many GIs not seeing the practicality of taking a machine gun home, that even a lot of the "cool" COs didn't think somebody needed GPMGs back at their house in Cincinnati.

Also OP today US soldiers can bring back weapons from Afghanistan and Iraq too but they need to be pre 1898, and thus antiques under federal law. So you see a lot of Martini-Henry rifles being brought back now, and even things like French Lebel rifles that the locals have re-stamped with pre 1898 dates so they can sell them to soldiers.

>>34652781

Not him, but I've seen movies and documentaries where GIs'd risk their lives just to nab enemy weapons.

Shit like running in the open mid fire fight to grab a Luger or Jap sword of an enemy's corpse while his buddies shoot at you.
COs would have to try and get them to knock that shit off.

My great grandpa flew P-47 thunderbolts in WW2, had 88 combat missions under his belt. At one point he was apparently involved in a infantry skirmish in france and brought home a mauser off of a dead nazi.

He had a chest filled with memorabilia, I'm talking PRICELESS stuff..the mauser, his service revolver, uniforms and pilot gear and most importantly hundreds of hours of guncam footage from his combat missions, one of which involved him bombing the fuck out of an orphanage serving as a german command post.

When he died, his cunt of a whore sister SOLD the chest in a fucking yard sale. All of those items are now gone, and have been for decades. I don't think I'll never forgive her for that.

My grandpa was the navigator in a B-29 in the pacific theatre during WWII. His plane was shot down over a Jap island. He parachuted safely out but when he landed he was confronted by a Jap with a bayoneted rifle and he was stabbed through the leg. He shot the Jap with his .45 and kept the bayoneted rifle as war souvenir. My dad has it stashed away in a safe in his house. The bayonet is still stained with my gramp's blood. I believe it is a Arisaka type 99 service rifle like pic related.

It happens pretty often.
From some of the memoirs I read, a lot of the weapons that were bring backs were sold by front line men to the rear echelon troops when they're behind the wire.
It makes sense though, when reading With the Old Breed and Helmet for my Pillow, multiple times when the infantry went back to the secured lines people would ask to buy souvenirs and with that in mind the line troops would suffer the most casualties and would also simply be tired of lugging around pickups. Other times, at least in the pacific campaign, the marines were not permitted to board their ships with anything more than their battle gear and packs, so carrying other stuff in a seabag wouldn't be possible. I've even heard stories of officers commandeering these things from their subordinates which is pretty shitty IMHO.

>>34654161
Yeah that was very annoying. I still enjoyed the pacific more than BoB, however I feel that the portrayal of the real men who fought was kind of skewed. Like that one scene where the french-canadian man kills himself. That same man was actually Lt. "Commando" who was killed in action against the Japanese on Peleliu, the suicide was from another person whom Leckie never knew.

My great uncle was in the screaming eagles and sent a few letters back (we still have) and a luger. You all know where this is headed, but let me start off by saying he mailed this back when he was still in Germany. My Great-Grandmother hated guns so she took the luger and threw into the sewer.

So today it most likely sits torn from the cold dead hands of an officer. Shipped back by a man that wanted to leave his hometown so bad he joined the army. Only to be entombed by muck and rust.

Yes, my step grandfather had a jewelry store in Iowa after the war and acquired dozens of Axis pistols (unfortunately all gone by the time I knew him in the 90s) as trade-ins for wedding rings from GIs. True story: this one time a Scotsman walks into his store and wants to buy a Luger and is like "What paperwork do I need to buy this gun from you here in America?". He's like "The only paperwork you need is the $30".

>>34651583

BoB is based on recollection of bunch old guys, even when their recollection contradicts actual US, British and German after action reports. Source material of BoB is trash, even before things like dramatic pacing and character building for show stars. Source material fourth episode is pretty much pure fiction, essentially slander of 15th/19th The King's Royal Hussars.

Not to mention casual character assassination of pretty much every superior officer of Winters in 101st AB.

Stephen Ambrose is plagiarist that did little to no fact checking from archive sources.

He doesn't regret killing any nazis just that he couldn't save some of his friends in the war. He's a total bad ass.

I lost my grandpa too early to be able to ask him the grown up question i have now that I wish i could've asked him.

all I have to go on is that he never talked about what he saw or did to my mother, who would be the only one to tell me anything. I also got into guns later on in life too. So ill never know if my grandmother or no guns mom threw out anything cool when I was younger.

I knew him until he died of shrapnel and cigarettes when I was 10. Man the things i want to ask him now

My grandpa was going to bring back a Japanese pistol, a rifle and a battle sword, but I guess they said if they found anyone trying to bring anything back they would be arrested, so my grandpa dumped the pistol and rifle overboard but kept the sword. They never ended up checking his bag, but he sold the sword before I was born.

There was never a large scale importation of Arisakas yet there are 1000s in the US

my grandfather was a boatswain on a soviet transport that participated in some northern convoy runs to/from russia, was decorated with order of the red star btw (not for those convoys though, for his service when his transport was transferred to the pacific ocean and participated in the soviet offense against japan). iirc i was told he was decorated with it twice but i definitely know only about one, i dunno what his wife did with his things but they were lost, i found the data about one his order on an official site with archive documents about soviet soldiers who got military decorations during the ww2 and it's possible not all of those papers were digitalized yet

She won't know a single thing about their monetary or sentimental value, because back in their day those were "man hobbies" that were viewed as silly things men did to kill time.

I was just at my girlfriend's grandparents house, a whole ton of rifles just sitting in the corner of the livingroom covered in dust and her grandma didn't know shit about them.
"Those're just peepaws"

For real, when you have a daughter or get married teach her enough about guns and anything you care about that when you die they aren't just "dad's old toys" that can be gotten rid of at a garage sale after you pass.

i need feminism because.... :3

>>34661496
Actually, yeah.
Women being pampered fucking homemakers that don't care about anything but grocery prices and their backyard garden leads to idiotic child-like soccer-moms that sell off heirlooms and hate guns because they've never had to handle themselves.

Here's a semi related story from my family..
>great-great-grandfather (i think) fought in the most iconic war of my country
>not only that, he fought as a kid, his work consisted in bringing ammo to the men in the front-lines.
>he bringed back his uniform and a bunch of stories
>flashforward to the 70's
>when my grandma went to collect the uniform, her cousin said "oh, that old rag? i sold it some time ago, it was really old so i was lucky to find someone that wanted to buy that piece of junk"

From that day my in the 70's to this day, my family has passed that story, and we all raged about it.

My grandma raged
My mom raged
My brother and i raged
And if i ever have a kid, i will also tell him the story to make him rage too.

>Godfather who was just like my father served in USMC infantry during WW2
>Served during the Korean War as infantry and Vietnam as a flight chief (? not too sure. He never talked much about his Vietnam service)
>Survived by the skin of his teeth throughout the Pacific Theater
>Had a huge reinforced metal chest full of war memorabilia
>War trophies, a Katana he took off of a Japanese officer, Nambu, medals, certificates, Japanese/Korean cash he found on dead civilians, pictures of family/loved ones taken from dead enemy infantry, his uniforms, tons of pictures, news articles his wife saved, letters, etc.
>Had 6 combination locks on it and a key lock
>After he passed away he wanted me to have the chest in will
>Didn't leave combinations or location of the key
>Searched his entire house for the combos and key
>Nothing
>Went to several locksmiths to try to get in/cut the locks
>They refused even with proof of ownership through will
>Told me "they don't know if I stole it or not"
>Still refused even with corroboration from estate attorneys and people who knew him
>Tried cutting the locks myself but they will not budge with any tool I use
>Still happy that I own the chest, although it frustrates me
He at least left me pic related outside of the chest. Told me he found it on Iwo Jima on a box in a cave that they went a little into but never told me the full story. I'm still baffled that he supposedly found P08 in the Pacific of all places...

>>34664924
Going "back" implies having somewhere you came from; for me that at best means going to Stuttgart instead of Karlsruhe as I live at now.

LSS+ or any good locksmithing ebook.

A lot of it just depended on who you were and where you were. My great-grandfather's brother bought home all kinds of shit because he had connections in the supply depot. We're talking glassware, cutlery, NSDAP banners, etc. He owned a plantation house out in rural North Carolina and every year on his birthday, he'd hang these two large NSDAP banners that spanned the entire length of the house's columns. He had another NSDAP banner that his wife sewed into a blanket.

When he died, everything got divied up among his kids and they sold most of it when I inquired. I was particularly interested in buying the blanket because i had used it as a kid, but the idiot daughter had sold it at a garage sale for $20.

So somewhere, someone has a Nazi banner that was sewn into a blanket by a master Southern belle seamstress back in the late 40's.

>they squirreled away his belongings and/or sold it all within a week
>found about all of this a week later
>bitch slapped that hoe for doing all of this and nearly got arrested for it

My only consolation is that I went digging through the trash and got the burnt remains of it. It's completely wrecked now, but I keep it in a nice box.

On a side note, I haven't spoken to either of the harlots in over a decade.
