Russians To Pave Military Church With Captured German WW2-era Guns

Captured German Weapons

Sitting on cases of captured German weapons since 1945 with few takers these days, the Russians are planning on recycling some. In the above video from Tvzvezda, the news outlet for the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major-General Igor Konashenkov is shown pawing through sample crates taken from a mountain of the same inside a dimly-lit warehouse near Moscow and showing off their contents– guns formerly owned by the Wehrmacht during WWII that have been under lock and key for over 75 years. According to the FAN news agency, the Red Army collected more than 3 million such weapons during WWII and immediately afterward, and still have “a very significant amount of captured Wehrmacht small arms,” in storage Credit : Guns.com
