| Centurion | Apparently, the PPsH submachinegun was very popular with German Army units on the Eastern Front. It was light, controllable, far more rugged than the MP-40 series, and it had that nice big drum magazine that ther Germans never had. In addition, it used the 9x19mm cartridge, (9mm parabellum to the rest of the world) which was also used and produced by the Germans. I have seen many photos of Germans using it, and ironically, I have seen almost as mony photos of Russians using the MP-40.... go figure! Dean. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | Well with the Russians it was case if they captured a pile of them and the ammunition was compatible then why not issue it to your own soldiers. The 9mm rounds were pretty standard during WW2.
