With all the respect, but so far I'd never heard of any training to shoot pistols at 500 yards or more likely metres during the Third Reich.
No battle was ever fought with pistols.
Anyway it's true that P.08 were sighted in at 50 metres, one just has to go to the range to realize it straight away.
Maybe it's because I've been collecting 1911 and still use one at the range, but if I were a soldier I would have used an "old reliable" instead of a Luger.
IMHO
