Why would germans have M1s?

I find your Ardennes Offensive. [:'(]

Bad joke, but these are good pics! I may use them for my upcoming WWII class.

Why would germans have M1s?

He needed a weapon and supply is not the direction their heading [;)]

Much better than a bolt action in a short range firefight too.

Same guy in front of the tree in the second photo, the third photo and the one in front in the fifth photo. Reminds me of the "aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper?' line.

These photos about the destruction of the calvary detatchment by elements of the 1ss are famous. I have a book about the ardennes offensive thats very good that covers this engagement. This book(?name escapes me..was written by a frenchman who's "obsessed" with this battle). Its the best book about the offensive I've ever seen. Gives exact makeup of the forces'ect.
