Captured Arms / Beutewaffen is Vol. IX in the Propaganda Photo Series on
World War II German small arms. This volume is dedicated to the millions
of small arms that were captured by the German army in more than twelve
different countries. Most weapons were reissued to the German army,
para-military units and auxiliaries. They were often used in their
original state, but sometimes modified to German standards.
This book covers all small arms described in the 'Kennblätter fremden
Geräts' (instruction sheets on foreign material) and many other weapons.
Last but not least, Captured Arms / Beutewaffen features a unique
selection of original German World War II propaganda photos, depicting
captured arms in use in German service.
