The above photo shows what appears to be one of the mysterious 20 round magazines, any thoughts fellow G/K43 collectors? Can anyone identify the unit or nationality of this group?

A truck load of POW's and a capture pile. GI's seem to have always had a good eye for souvenirs!

Close up of this GI's choice, nice selection!

Those are Lithuanian uniforms. Probably anti-Soviet guerrillas. Partisan activity went on for some time in the Baltic states. The first photo is the leader of the Lithuanians, Adolfas Ramanauskas-Vanagas. He was tortured and murdered by the Russians after he was finally captured in 1956.

Thanks for posting, we had a ton of these over on the old G/K43 forum. :facepalm:

Yeah, too bad that site is gone now, I wonder if someone would try to get it back up and running. I was on there yesterday trying to find a picture of a K98 a member was selling along with a G43. I bought the G43 but I can't get to a picture of the receiver of the K98, I have two pictures of it I saved. All I remember is that it was a byf 44.
 
Here`s a couple more.
