MP5?[edit]

Please show source about MP5 use in vietnam war. I think is not because in the year,MP5 are prototype and not product.

Wasn't the MG-42 Used in the Vietnam War?[edit]

I found this statement on the internet, but I'm not sure what to think about it.

"The 3rd Colonial Commando Parachute Battalion drew German weapons from surrendered stocks (war reparations) for their 1948–50 tour in Indochina. Photos of MG 42s, Mausers, and MP-40s can be found in Cyril Bondroit’s book."

Is this true in any way? Does anyone have a book from mister "Cyril Bondroit" saying anything about this? TheJawaManiac (talk) 07:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
