George is correct. Auschwitz is and was in Poland, and I didn't think any troops from the Western Allies got that far east (unless the allied officer was Russian, or the story is, well, not quite true).

BTW, Auschwitz is the German spelling; the Polish name is Oswiecim, and that is what is shown on most modern maps. It is near Krakow.

As for original ownership, the U.S. at least does not have that information for its own weapons, let alone for enemy weapons. Any such trace attempts are almost always a waste of time.
