The vet was a tanker in WWII and said that he took the pistol from a guard on the first day of the siege at Suhl. He said that everybody had these pistols and after the ground pounders established themselves there were non combat related casualties due to too many people who need direct supervision with too much time on their hands and a surplus of these pistols and ammo.

He said most of these pistols were destroyed by order of the commanding officer after a series of injuries and deaths caused by careless use.
