Yes,i know a bit about WAR and i know that no fighting took place there during WW2,so unless the Germans used this American ammo in 1944 and brought it back from a battlefield somewhere i still don't know ;-))

By the way,we got a law against keeping ammunition,unless i get a weapon and hunting permission..

Bummer on the Ammo law.

Maybe some German soldier obtained the American ammo of as keep sake?

Hell, maybe some German soldier was using a US weapon? It wasn't unheard of.

Maybe part of a Underground Stash?

I'm more the sure there were Americans there at the End of the War.

That place was used as a transit camp before they went back after the War was over so I'll grab option number two ! ;-)

If i follow the law very strictly i can't even have an empty shell if it is under 20 mm,some of that old ammunition looks "old" and unstable so maybe it it's safer this way No no!
