Points well taken! I did'nt go into detail on all my points, but rather used them as broad illustrations of several points. I'm aware that the German Navy first adopted the Luger in 1904, and was trying to make the point that not every soldier was issued a Luger when they graduated the Gymnasium(highschool). The P38 was really the preferred pistol of the military during the Third Reich. Further the Luger wasn't a NAZI Gun any more than the 1911 was a Democratic Gun. Just looking at the gun for it's true merits rather than the "Dimestore Novel" idea that it was the "Gun of The Nazi's". It remains and will continue to remain the wepon it is a truly magnificent work of machinery and art.
