James,

good points. But I really think that the reason that Hitler is characterized as the worst of the worst is that they took so many pictures both stills and motion. This lends itself to television well. Who would even know about Pol Pot if it was not for one movie. He never took pictures of his atrocities and neither did Chairman Mao.

Your right, I should not have gone off on what I wrote and I should restrict myself to Lugers and the point of this forum. Its just that my brother has an APAR girl from Germany staying with him. She told me about a vacation that she took in England. When some children heard that she was from Germany they started giving her the Nazi salute and making remarks. This event was fairly recent. This reminded me of some letters my mother received from relatives that lived in Germany early in Hitlers rise to power. They told my mother about how frightened they were of him. So I guess I just was a little bent out of shape when I heard what these people did to a young German girl who just happened to be vacationing in Great Britain and vented my anger in the wrong place.

Please accept my apologies for going off like I did. I will now take your example and go back to the real point of this forum, the intelligent and enjoyable discussion of Lugers.
