Default Re: Rules and Restrictions in Germany

One thing to remember is that in Germany as in Japan, the most restrictive ownership laws were initially imposed by the US in 1945.

I remmber reading a short story by an American tanker. They were under orders to confiscate all privately owned guns as they moved through Germany. He let and old man keep a drilling and pantomined for him to hide it. As he left in his tank, the man came running after him and pointed to a mine the tank was about to drive over. Would the man have warned him if he had taken the gun as orderd? Who knows.
