After July, 1941, when Latvia was occupied by Germany, the VEFSUPER M517 were supplied to Wehrmacht and Latvian paramilitary as troops entertainment receivers. On the front panel of our M517 the word "Heereseigentum" is burned in which means "The property of the Armed Forces".

The tube complement of the M517 were all Russian tubes apparently from the remaining pre-war stocks.
