Luger on the RADIO!

Hello All,
I listen to Classic radio, channel 82, on serris/XM sat in my van.
Great radio station. All the detective radio programs from the early 40's to the early 50's. The have Johnny Dollar, Jack Webb's Dragnet radio version, plus many more. They also carry the early comedy skits, Jack Benny and the like. They really did those radio stories great back in the day.

Well, back to Lugers. One program is call "The Saint" The main character is played by a younger Vincent Price. Still the same voice. In one episode, he tangles with a former Nazi after the war who wants to be the next Hitler. Twice in this program they refer to a Luger the Nazi was holding. At one point it is referred to as his "little" Luger.

Radio Classics really passes the time while driving.
My favorite program.
"Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar"

Armed Forces Radio used to rebroadcast those old radio series when I was a young soldier in various parts of the globe during the '60s, '70s and '80s. Heck, they may still be doing that for the young soldiers today! Anyone know if they are? I always enjoyed listening to those stories... your imagination is even more HD than a 60" flatscreen!
