It's difficult to believe that a Weimar marked Police pistol made it to a LW aircraft. Most bomber crews were issued non-German made pistols (CZ27s, Femarus, etc) based on the belief that if they were shot down, most crews wouldn't live to take about it, and if they did, they probaly wouldn't be able to make it back to the Fatherland. Most HK PO8 made for the LW, went to AA batteries and/or airfield security (the ground LW force that might be overrun). TH
