The Portuguese FBP M948 submachine gun. Bolt almost exactly like MP40.

And always a severe shortage of ammo for them.

Wonder if the bicycle's rear wheel is still chained to the tree where it was stolen from.
Russian grenades and an all by itself AK mag.
I'm wondering if this pic was mostly just a photo op for the folks in Portugal?
I never saw any of the insurgents or even homegrown rebels using Recoilless Rifles or submachine guns. The mags were as precious to them as ammo and they would even strip their own dead to pick up spares.
I'm wondering which troopie/farmer militaman picked up the AK and only turned in the magazine??
The Portuguese used recoilless rifles quite extensively in some areas to good effect, especially anti personelle. Ammunition shortages was the fly in its ointment. Usually mounted on trucks or smaller vehicles.

By the midway point of WWII, Switzerland also had one of the largest Air Forces in Europe.
Pilots had a habit of dropping into Switzerland with "damaged" aircraft from all combatant nations, most of them close to being factory fresh.
I saw a video claiming at one point, towards the end of the war, Switzerland had ten operational planes for every Swiss pilot and they had a lot of pilots.
Switzerland was also the location of the only BF109 vs BF109 dogfight. The Swiss had bought BF109 from Germany and then used them to enforce their airspace against German incursions.

He is thinking 'that's going to leave a divot'
I was thinking that it was going to leave one on the plane.
Hope I can mow around it....
