All those never used Thompson SMG just laying there for all these decades. What a shame. I understand the US sent tanks to Russia to bolster their support against Germany. Every tank had at minimum one Thompson but the Russian army didn’t want to use the man stopper 45acp. So the Thompsons weren’t used. Also heard the US sent crates of Thompsons to England and they were buried on farmland so if the Germans invaded the resistance would have small arms. I wonder what happened to them.
I see it as a powerful gun.
How about this - somewhere in the Pacific after WW2…

Now I’m crying. All that rust, the memories, the thousands of GIs that died.
