Fat Hermann's S%W is in the West Point Museum. FWIW, Hitler favored the Mentz early on, then the Mauser 1910, and was given several Walther PP/PPKs during his time as Chancellor. Himmler appears in a number of photographs shooting Lugers with both left and right hand, but most pictures of him carrying are a small PPK. VonRibbentrop carried his (Now my) Luger when visiting the front and when his personal effects were captured the Luger, a C-96 Early version marked "System mauser" and a P-38 were among his things.
Almost all the senior Field Marshals and Generals/Admirals carried Walthers.

My zwei pfennigs,
