My father served in the Army Air Corps in North Africa Sicily and Italy in WWII. I loved to hear the stories about all the different guns they picked up. He said they would shoot them until they ran out of ammo,and then trade them for liquid refreshments. The best story he told was about finding arms dumps. The first they reported to HQ. They had to post guards for a week until the brass sent trucks to haul everything off. The next one the came upon was a different story. His commander had them roll a 500lb bomb inside. The rest as they say is history.
