German surrender of Denmark
 

This was on main gunboards and since he appropriated the pictures, i appropriated those I liked best ;)

The piles of Lugers at the end of the wars just makes me sad and salivate because there are so many rare ones in there and I know that most in those piles (especially British piles) either wound up as melted scrap steel or found their way into another pile on a sea floor.

Those soldiers are carrying something like a P-14. I guess, if it was good enough for WWI.....

OMG!!! Horch 'krads'!!! :eek: I want one! :thumbup:

No4 Mk1 303 lee-enfields. Standard Brit issue in WW2.

Many of those lugers in piles wound up in the US via 'take home'. My deceased friend was there and witnessed those piles. GIs were snatching up lugers by the hundreds.

Ed, thanks for sharing those drool worthy photos of abandoned weapons, etc. It makes me wonder how much the Germans left behind in Africa when they exited.

In the second to last photo, can someone clarify the pipe on the cars leading from the engine compartment to a big tank at the rear? Methane or some other alternate fuel?

Wood burning cars, there a few in the other photos.
