Did the SS use Lugers?

Hitler, may have well carried a PO8 as a corporal in WW1, but more likely a Mauser 98 rifle. As Der Furer, he was presented a gold plated luger by KH, a plated PP &/or PPK by Walther and probably about any other German made pistol that you can name. Like many politicians today, he probably didn't bother to carry a gun, as he was nomally surrounded by armed succurity. As stated above, the SS was rated below the Armed Forces in small arms procurement, until they decided to use their vast pool of slave labor to build their own. TH
