  1. I’m always surprised just how much German equipment & arms the French used after WWII. Edit: I should clarify, I’m particularly surprised at how much German stuff the French paid to have manufactured new (Panthers, FW190, Lugers) when there was so much surplus around. I know there was a concern about it kicking off with the Soviet’s immediately post war, but the lend Lease nations (Britain in particular) were just straight up dumping stuff in the ocean.

  2.  @BFOP15  The French had new FW190 manufactured post-war by the SNCAC aircraft company. I stand corrected on the Panthers!

  3.  @chrissilsby4312  I believe brand new aircraft and tanks were also dumped at sea. Seems a travesty now!
