Roadkill:
I quess the question would be by whom?
The Americans didn't consider a 9mm an adequate combat arm at all at that time.
The Russians considered their little .30 Tok. more than adequate for both pistol and submachine gun useage.
The British were mixed on the subject, with their .455 Webleys and 9mm Stens.
The French had their 7.65 Long Colt Clones and no submachine guns.
The Italians had their .380 Model 34s, their 7.65 Model 35s, as well as, a very nice Beretta 9mm submachine gun.
To my knowledge, the PPs, PPKs and other similar small automatics were issued to higher ranking officers and naturally the police.
Were they used in combat by the Germans? Few probably were.
