Well, in defense of Datig I have to say that his approach was good. He had access to some of the key players of the pre-1945 Parabellum era and he toured Germany and Switzerland extensively. With the access we now have to archive material that comes directly from some of those key players it is possible to retrace the steps of pioneers like Datig.

Although his work is dated in some aspects, especially in the 'contract luger' department, the basic info about DWM and the people involved is very trustworthy.
