RAM, I suggest you tone things down and show some respect to some long standing WWII Forum Members. Otherwise will be paying you a visit.

The point of this thread was to showcase some captured equipment, startign off with the fact that the US had to use captured Artillery + Shells because they had a shortage of their own. With the Industrial Capacity of the United States at the time, that is very surprising.

Also, not all 'captured' weapons were used because of a shortage. Some were used because they were superior to the standard issue the GI's got (or were produced by the home country).
