>Ultimate war trophy for Americans fighting Japan: Katana>Ultimate war trophy for Americans fighting Germany: LugerWhat was the iconic war trophy for Americans fighting Italy?
Carcano. They had magic bullets.
Fat titty Italian girls
>>65224369unironically this. I'm not proud of it but we fucked the hell out of Italy
>>65224357The MAB 38 was quite popular as a captured weapon.
>>65224385It's OK, half the American troops were wops from New Yawk, and the other half were Germans from the Midwest.
>>65224369>"what is this? An army or a brothel?">"Si, si! Bordello militare!"
>>65224357Dunno about anyone else but if I were there I would want one of those hats with the feathers in
>>65224369Spbp>>65224385Italians were down with it tho>>65224488The postwar NYC wop population actually boomed because of all the eytie war romance husbands and brides
What is the ultimate trophy for posting the same thread every two months?

>>65224357clothing hand tailored for stupid cheap prices, same in Paris. Uniform, suit, dress for the wife back home.
>>65224357Spaghetti and breadsticks
>>65228065Many people don't realize this but Olive Garden's endless breadsticks are a holdover started by the orignal during wartime occupation. It was so popular with American GI's they kept the practice around after emmigrating. It's a shame Italians have forgotten their own history.
>>65224488That drives me insane. Especially in movies. If they're not Italian from NYC, they're Irish from Philly...then maybe 1 guy from bumfuck Indiana in the entire group. Otherwise, apparently every American was Irish or Italian, and lived in NYC or Philly.
>>65224357The hard equivalent was the Berretta, but it was already commercially available unlike the Luger, and wasn't as odd as other pistols. A lot of people brought back clothing. As funny as it is, breadsticks, though less in the sense that they brought home a bunch of breadsticks, and more in the sense that they started serving them domestically.
One of the opera houses my grandpa's unit visited had seals of Italian nobles that supported Mussolini on their respective private boxes so they pried them out and took them home with them. So Italian noble crap? Maybe a Beretta or two?
>>65224357What would be an iconic trophy for those who fight against Americans? In history, it may have been a 1911 or the M1 Garand or Carbine with the latter having been praised by German soldiers. In Vietnam, it may have been an M16A1 which was complimented by Viet rats.I don't know what iconic trophies would be seen as such by the Talichads. Perhaps the M4?
>>65228735America's enemies were seriously too focused on not getting got - to worry about cool shit to rip off.
>>65228222Honestly, this is the best pistol ever made.Pure fucking elegance.Modern Berettas up to 92FS tried to keep the same vibe with similar open slide visual design but a much more complicated fullsize combat pistol never was the same than this pocket gun.
