Shut this thread down!!
After the German Army captured large numbers of the PPSh-41 during World War II, a program was instituted to convert the weapon to the standard German submachine gun cartridge – 9×19mm Parabellum. The Wehrmacht officially adopted the converted PPSh-41 as the "MP41(r)"; unconverted PPSh-41s were designated "MP717(r)" and supplied with 7.63×25mm Mauser ammunition (which is dimensionally identical to 7.62×25mm, but slightly less powerful). German-language manuals for the use of captured PPShs were printed.

And they shipped these weapons from USSR to France ?
I don't know, I'm just asking, because I have family that lived near the beaches at that time, and believe it or not, they were some looters (I myself have an original american card deck), I never heard about russian weapons, nor that I remeber seeing some in museums.

The Normandy beaches were understaffed, so I kind of find it weird that they still found the time to procure these soldiers with soviets weapons.

Big story behind this, maybe u just wanna read instead of me copying the whole shablang?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_African_Americans#World_War_II

During World War II, most male African American soldiers still served only as truck drivers and as stevedores (except for some separate tank battalions and Army Air Forces escort fighters).[42] African American women in uniform answered the call of duty by tending the wounded as nurses, or working as riveters, mail clerks, file clerks, typists, stenographers, supply clerks, or motor pool drivers.[43] In the midst of the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, General Eisenhower was severely short of replacement troops for existing all-white companies. Consequently, he made the decision to allow 2000 black servicemen volunteers to serve in segregated platoons under the command of white lieutenants to replenish these companies.[44] These platoons would serve with distinction and, according to an Army survey in the summer of 1945, 84% were ranked "very well" and 16% were ranked "fairly well". No black platoon received a ranking of "poor" by those white officers or white soldiers that fought with them. Unfortunately, these platoons were often subject to racist treatment by white military units in occupied Germany and were quickly sent back to their old segregated units after the end of hostilities in Germany. Despite their protests, these brave African American soldiers ended the war in their old non-combat service units. Though largely forgotten after the war, the temporary experiment with black combat troops proved a success - a small, but important step toward permanent integration during the Korean War.[45][46] A total of 708 African Americans were killed in combat during World War II.[47]
Its true, the Germans would often give captured weapons to rear echelon and camp/airfield guards. In fact, the SS early on was moslty equipped with captured Czech equipment. They would also commonly take weapons, such as the PPSh-41, and re-chamber them for common domestic rounds like the 9x19 Luger that the MP40 used. The primo stuff usually went to the wehrmacht regulars.

African soldiers were actually involved in the war. Most of them were truck drivers

I kind of want to buy the game for MP just so I can permanently play as a black female SS soldier or something and mess with the wankers who care.

Think I'll name myself Tante Jemima.

So every fat kid can now shut his mouth and stop complaining about inaccurate!
