Ordinarily Police Lugers stayed with the police through the war, as evidenced by the police marked 1940 holster. Very possibly during the last few months, some police units fought along with, or were conscripted into the military.

Many GIs took side arms from surrendering police officers thinking that the police officer was a military officer, due to the uniforms which appeared military in design.
