The shovel was multipurpose. Digging of course, I've heard rare occasions they were used to heat up food on. And for a swift bash to the head if in close proximity to an unsuspecting axis soldier. Aye!
In the battle reenactment I saw in Reading this weekend, not one Allied soldier had a Thompson...mostly Garands, a .45 or two, and one .30 caliber machine...no freakin' Thompson
