Civilian ownership of pistols in the Third Reich was more common than what is believed. Civilians working in Nazi-occupied countries had a need for them for protection because of the hostilities against the Nazis.

A quote attributed to Hitler that says "This year (1935) will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future."

Although the Nazis did pass gun laws, I have heard this quote, often seen on T-shirts and bumper stickers, is a hoax. Any forum members know otherwise?
