Alf,

I'm sorry to disagree, but it actually is both very well possible and very well documented that, for example, Dutch Navy soldiers, both used lanyards and the P08 style holster.

There is more than enough room to allow a lanyard to stay on the gun and peep under the lid of a P08 style holster.

You are right, however, that there is not much proof that the GERMAN Army issued lanyards with the P08.

It's important to remember that the Germans weren't the only ones using lugers.
