P.08 usage in WWII

[Feamane]

Hi all,

I've been lurking here for a while, but this is my first post.

I'd like to know if there are any good sources of information about P.08 use during WWII. Does "Third Reich Lugers" by Jan C. Still just cover
the details of P.08s manufactured in that time frame--or does it delve into the issue and use of any P.08s during the war--or both?

Is the book "The P08 Luger Pistol" by Guus De Vries & Bas Martens of any use in understanding P.08 use during WWII?

Some of the questions I would like to research are:

I understand that the P.08 was a substitute standard during WWII, how prevalent was its use?

Did only rear-echelon units use the P.08? SS units? Luftwaffe?

I read that the P.08 was made by Mauser until 1942 (or was it 1943?), were the new manufactured pistols issued to certain types of units or
just scattered about as required?

Were a lot of WWI era pistols reissued during WWII? If so, were they re-arsenaled at some point? Were the WWI pistols in good shape
refurbished while the ones in poor shape parted out? Or were the poor ones rebuilt as parts-guns and force-matched?

Were the stocks of P.08s used up by the end of the war and thus the development of the Volkspistole? Obviously it would be cheaper to make
Volkspistole than Lugers, but I would think it would be cheaper to issue refurbished P.08s than to develop and manufacture Volkspistole if there
were still stocks of P.08 pistols or parts still available.

Is there any info on how many P.08s were available in 1939?

Any pointers to books or other sources of information that might answer my questions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
DJ
