If he was taken prisoner would possession of that carbine been enough to get him shot?
Maybe. Carrying captured firearms was/is pretty common in war. There were a lot of US troops who carried captured MP40s, Lugers, etc. in Europe during WWII. Probably, also, in Korea and Vietnam. Harvey |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: If he was taken prisoner would possession of that carbine been enough to get him shot? Image below from Harvey Goldman - Image Title: M-1 Carbine Image Info: Here's a German soldier carrying an M-1 Carbine.  |
If he was Waffen SS, the probabilities would be higher. Executing prisoners certainly wasn't unheard of (by all sides) during WWII, no matter the reasons.- 1
