Probably not as many as you might expect. My grandpa had several such war trophies, but when he heard that getting caught with them would delay him GTFO of Europe, he ditched almost everything (I think my dad said that he kept a German target rifle of some kind, but all of his memorabilia burned up in a house fire in the early '80s). We know some of it did come home, but I doubt he was the only one who didn't want anything to stand in the way of him un-assing the AO.I wonder how many of those German weapons went home with our troops.
