Germans using M1911's?

[Johnny Peppers]

Norway adopted the 1911 Colt to be known as the Model 1912 caliber 11.43mm, and later changed it to Model 1914 caliber 11.25mm. When the Germans occupied Norway in mid 1940 they took over the Kongsberg factory where the pistols were manufactured and continued to produce pistols for use by the Germans. The German designation was Pistole 657(n). In 1945 the German waffenampt, WaA84, was applied to the pistols and are a scarce variation. I don't know if this answers the question of whether the Germans used the 1911, but indicates that they did use a version of the 1911.
