Luger was ultimate war trophy

Bob,

My dad was returning from Germany and he had 3 P.38s which he had "procured" after the war. On the troopship, an officer declared that any weapons would be confiscated and the soldier would be punished, but if they were turned in, no charges would be filed. Dad turned in the 3 P.38s, but he kept the Russian nagent and Tokarev that his German girlfriend had given him. The 2 Russian pistols were her brothers war trophys from the Eastern Front when he was on leave in Bremershaven. Dad, or his girlfriends family, never knew if the German soldier was alive or dead by mid 1946. Dad always said the officer probably kept the pistols for himself.
