Nice find. My uncle was in the 45th ReconTroop of the 45th ID during WWII. Have you seen the posts re: After Action Reports of the 179th regiment & other units of the 45th? Here's a link to kerrd5's thread on the 179th.http://www.ww2f.com/italy-sicily-greece/32624-179th-infantry-regiment-after-action-reports.html
The Cz 27 was a popular 32 auto in its day. Production continued after the war. The Germans used 10s of thousands of them for use in the Wehrmacht.
