Friend & couple of Chicago buddies came to up to breathe some free air & camp & shoot; gunsafes emptied and springs sagged with the weight of "horrible stockpiles."
Friend brought his Dad's WW-II Vis (aka Radom), nice early WaffenAmt stamped Series 1, quality Polish parts, along with its :eek: detachable shoulder stock. This thing shoots like a dream by the way, and no hammer bite like a BHP. Very comfortable having that longer 1911-style trigger shoe and even ran some wimpy match loads as long as the JHP would feed.
The campfire back-story was better though. His Dad was in the Holy Cross Brigade, who were pretty well organized. They had their travails with allegiances as it, ultimately, became necessary near the end to make civil with some Germans as they both moved westbound - since neither wanted to be overrun by the Red Army. But really nothing different than much of the "drama" surrounding Tito's organization and who would the US back & why. But some serious fighters they were.
Attached is a large group pic of the 'Brygada', his Dad's smaller element (tall guy, in the back with shades & wearing a c** cap.) Women figured as well, and including a pic of his brother's godmother saluting and leading her platoon down the street.

However, the attached PDF document, replete with OSS and CIC involvement (as well as Reinhard Gehlen's) and a Polish language EXSUM at the end may be of interest to some from an historical view.
