Herman Goering's Personal Pistol

[azlaw]

Nobody has said anything about the "capture paper". I know these things had some variation, but there was a form, and this isn't it. Also, when did you see a form signed by a Major... one who didn't know his branch... or unit?

And what's this business about "firearms capable of being concealed on the person"? (Which this rather obviously is). Sounds like post 1968 Vietnam era language, not WWII.

And kind of an odd date too, right before the surrender, 3rd Army was moving pretty fast over the Rhine into Germany just then, busy time wasn't it? Would people be fooling around with capture papers? And in the wrong place too - wasn't it the 7th Army that took the Eagle's Nest?

Plus, usually I think of capture papers as being summer or later 1945 or into 1946.

Anybody know about capture papers?
