My father was a combat infantry officer in the ETO during WWII. He told me many, many times that GIs loved both Lugers and P-38s, but if the situation looked bad they would promply dispose of P-38s as being captured with one was thought to be an immediate death sentence. Seems the GIs thought that P-38s were exclusive to SS units while Lugers were throughout the Army.

FWIW
