History Channel acount of Luger
It seems that Luger's biggest contribution to history is
legitimation of automatic (semiauto) pistol in military application, according to History Channel. by being first automatic pistol to be adopted by a major military power of the world. Do you subscribe to that theory? btw, it seems the most often seen character on History Channel is Adolf Hitler. who's middle name is unknown to me. Yet I have never seen him carrying a Luger. |

Viggo:
True but, the Luger is not very good against mustard gas, and that's what Adolph came in contact with. Tis a shame to think if there had been just a wee more mustard gas, it might very well have "done him in" We would have still had the "Luger" but not HIM! Milt |

Or if the British machinegunners shot straight, and got him with his two comrades who were both killed. Instead, Adolf made it through, and got the Iron Cross first class for it!

Ever notice how major changes in history hinge on small events? (EOM)
