Lugers issued to enlisted men in WW2?

There is a detailed account of what happened at Dachau in a book whose title I cannot remember. Basically a platoon of New Mexico or Arizona National Guardsmen rounded up the Territorial Command guards (The SS had feled a few days before), stood them against a wall and machine gunned them

There were official reports filed, an Article 32 investigation was held and trial by GCM recommended. When the papaer work package got to George Pattoon, who was the GCM convening authority, he took them from his SJA and tossed them into a roaring fireplace.

Interestingly enough, you can find picture of these events on the net if you take the time to search.
