Partisans with Stg 44

Rightist partisans showing a captured Stg 44 and a Sten clearly parachuted by the Allies. Their Alpini caps and the blue (probably) neckerchieves indicate they are monarchist/liberal or (like the Fascists called them) "Badoglian" partisans. If communist/socialist or leftist they would have shown communist insinia, red stars and red neckerchieves. Probably this Stg was captured with a good amount of ammo, because talking with old partisans they said that this was a great weapon to capture but they've a big problem in it's use that was the absolute lack in their side of 7,92 mm ammo.
