I've read that after the War, the ferry boat line between France and England had so many war-souvenir Lugers lying on the bottom that you could almost walk across them to England...

Probably an exaggeration...but from what I've read, the penalty for a British soldier caught bringing back a war-souvenir pistol was pretty severe...Most decided to chuck them overboard...

We have a Channel Islands member here...maybe we could coax him into telling some war stories...
