Was reading an book on WW2 German weapons last night and found that the Germans captured substantial numbers of Thompsons in WW2 from the Russians. later on in the war as the Germans started to get short of home made stuff they re-issued these captured Thompsons and designated it MP.760r.

I was told the Thompsons that were sent to Russia were hardly used due to ammo shortages - obviously can't be true if the Germans took a whole load off them.

Does anyone else have any more information on this?
