Hi,

I'm curious if there is a source for this information? I would like to learn more about the distribution of the P.08 vs. the P.38 in the German forces during the war. Was this info gathered from Fallschirmjäger specific material? Is it known when the P.38 completely replaced the P.08 in Fallschirmjäger use?

Best regards,
DJ
