The War Trophy Luger of General DWM
 

Sometimes you just have to laugh at silly stuff GENERAL DWM's Luger
A Farcical Tale I wrote a while back! LOL

The Luger War Trophy
The smell of cordite, blood and sweat hung heavy in the air! The rolling acrid smoke stung the young soldiers eyes as he peered through the haze of battle. Only faint moans of wounded soldiers muffled through the air and in the distance the faint clank of the machines of War from the retreating army. The soldier overwhelmed from the recent memories of the roar of battle, the cry of people being hit by small arms fire and artillery shrapnel stood in a daze remembering the recent senses reeling episodes of exploding shells, running and screaming people and all the other noises that made up the battle that had just concluded. Some of the smoke and haze cleared and the young soldier spied a German officer crumpled by several hits from a machine gun. He lay in an awkward crumpled heap that bespoke the violence of his death. Coming closer now………watching warily for any sign of life, the solider saw what he had long to find! A fine German pistol, or so he assumed, housed in a slightly blocky looking hard black case or holster as you yanks might call it. After certain the officer was stone cold dead, he removed the fine German pistol, glinting in the sunlight that was striving to clear the battle haze and smoke. IT WAS A LUGER, and real German Luger and upon close examination of the fine weapon, he knew he had found the personal weapon of the famous German General!! General Dieter Wilhelm Mauser!! For on the top of the toggle was inscribed the Generals initials in a fine scroll work! General DWM!! LOL

That's nothing. I have King Erfurt's pistol. And that of his evil twin Hermann Spandau.

Meh. That's nothing. I got several items belonging to General Electric.:evilgrin:

Just after the Israeli/Arab 6 day war the US Military wanted to recruit Israeli General Moshe Dayan.

Israel proposed a swap 3 Generals for 3 Generals
US said "Yes" and named Dayan and 2 others

Israel requested General Electric, General Motors, and General Dynamics

How many British mysteries have you seen that contained the phrase, I smelled the acrid odor of cordite?

As kids we loved cordite. Take a .303 Enfield round, use pliers to remove the projectile and remove the cordite.
The Enfield was a standard training rifle in NZ at the time.

Spell words on concrete then burn them in.

They still smell "cordite" in movies; even though it is not used in current ammo.:D

Not smelling the pleasant smell of nitrocellulose?

Fun fact from 20 years of Hunter Safety instruction
Males like the smell of Hoppes #9, and women do not.
