High-ranking Nazis and revolvers ?

Someone from Wales is Welsh. Someone from Cornwall is Cornish. Someone from the Isle of Man is a Manx. From North Ireland, Irish. From Scotland come the Scots. We have Guernseys, Shetlanders and my pardons to those I have omitted.

Now what do I call some one from the middle of England if not English?

The term British includes all of them as far as I know. I used to work with a Welshman who made great pretense of being English.

As for pistols, if a revolver is chambered for 9 mm it must be a Luger. The local classified ads had a plastic Luger. (I think it must have been something like a Glock.)You've all heard of newspaper accounts of "automatic" revolvers and they were not talking about a Webley Fosberry.

How many times in the movies have you seen somebody screw a supressor on a revolver and call it a silencer? The last thing a supressor will do on a revolver is silence it. In the movies I've seen scenes taking place in the thirties in which the bad guys carried P38's.

As for Goering's pistol, I have that. It's a 1920 chamber dated DWM, nickle plated. Everybody knows the Nazi bigwigs had nickle plated Lugers and they are very rare.

More seriously, I have heard that Hitler shot himself with a Mauser Zig-Zag revolver. The one in which the bolt moves forward and back to rotate the cylinder rather than using a hand or pawl as most revolvers do.
