High-ranking Nazis and revolvers ?

Any firearm a General Officer carries is 90% symbol of authority, 10% useful. Patton had his pearl handled revolvers, Bradley had an 03, Ridgeway had the grenades on his LBE, Schwartzkof had a 12 ga double barrel, Saddam does the same thing. Westmoreland never carried a firearm at all. General Dean in the Korean War is one of the few instances that an actual General got into direct combat with the enemy using infantry weapons.
