P.08 usage in WWII

Goertz covers the TO&E issue, and possibly a few others. You are asking info that is hard to trace down, although some of it is out there.

See the book reviews on the stickies here on the forums.

But going off of memory and since I am still unsure what you are looking for (my fault, brain fuzzy from travel)

Walter, has an encyclopedia version that is good for lots of facts, although not TO&E; his Luger Story is a good read on info and where it was used.

All of Jan Still's books are very good, but more scholarly than what I think you are looking for.

Several of the cheaper books you can find, do not have really good info, see reviews on several of them.

There was a post once on TO&E, most specifically about lugers being officers guns rather than issued to lots of NCO's etc, and I did some research at that time; a search should bring it up?
