Crates of Lugers!

[Lugerdoc]

Since German officers were required to purchase a pistol (or use a family hand me down) upon commissioning, these were generally smaller, cheaper ones than the luger or P38. These were used for dress parade and when not in combat. When in action, they would be issued a more powerful army issue weapon (my choice would be an MP40) which they would late turn in or pass on to their relief. TH
