When Czechoslovakia went under in 1938 - 39 , Germany got enough VZ24 Mausers to equip around 11 Infantry divisions /// Does anyone have any idea roughly how many Polish Mausers fell into German hands ???
The Poles were in the middle of mobilization when war came, had over 500,000 men under arms, with 1 million more being called up. The serviceable captured Mausers, in all variations, must have numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Minus, of course, the ones the Red Army grabbed in East Poland when they invaded.
Supposedly the Poles had built 249,000 WZ29s before September 1939
