Krieghoff Production Site Question

[John D.]

I believe, for your research, that what you are referring to is the Sterzing, Italy plant (known as Plant #12 during it's operation). It was there that HK rebuilt the Italian Carcano carbine for the German military. I believe that it was a change in caliber and a re-work of the major action to German Army specification. The two other facilities in Italy (Muhlbach and Franzensfeste) apparently were not completed before that area was liberated. All three were located in the South Tyrol area of Italy. Again - I'll defer to Gibson for these facts...
