But still! I have a picture taken from General Urchardts resistance pocket at Hartwig Hotel, where a Para uses an M1! And to my knowlage there where no american troops in this area, so it couldent have been an a ''replacement'' weapon. Can any one sheed some light on this?

The unit was known as Z special and was a special ops unit. In one ...
