The iconic "Evil gun" Luger image began with the concept of the "Evil Hun" of WW2.
Empirical Germany gets no pass in the bad guy department.
Certainly no death camps, but they cast a dark cloud that created a lot of suffering the world could have done without.
Some old movies of the period show gangsters and other miscreants wielding Lugers.
My grandfathers were both WW1 vets who's lives were disrupted by having to serve as were most of the guys of that age where I grew up.
My father and his cohort were WW2 vets. There were a number of local Luger souvenirs I saw and handled as a kid. Still a couple around.
Bought my 1st in 1962 or thereabouts.
My grandfather took a dim view of my interest is such things.
