Picked this one up some time back. Haven’t researched it yet, but noticed a late issue of an Italian M41 cavalry carbine ( German designation 409(I) )

Supposedly some of these battalions were activated like Volkssturm? I’ll have to dig in to that, but this guy ended up in an Austrian pow camp I believe. I’ll post more photos after I work on translating some of this stuff. What’s cool is I have his Soldbuch and Wehrpass along with the wallet he carried it in.

Nice Soldbuch!
Exotic weapons are often encountered in Landesschützen Soldbucher.
This fellow saw service as a POW guard in Austria in Wehrkreis XVII (Vienna area).
