My uncle's luger

Hello all and thanks in advance for your assistance. My uncle passed away a few years ago and I was wondering if you all could assist me in some info regarding the weapon. He was a WWII vet and picked up the luger in France off of a fallen German soldier. He was a D-day +1 soldier and fought only a few weeks before being wounded. He was a Browning machine gunner and was shot in the hand. He was in the hospital for several months with multiple operations and ended up with 4 partially usable fingers on 1 hand. He had stories about hedge row fighting and was wounded taking a U-boat base. I know that he picked this pistol up while he was fighting, but off of what type of soldier I have no idea. Can you help me identify the gun?
Thanks
Greg
