Lugers...Why?

The fascination of the Luger to most of us is that for generations of Americans who participated in two world wars against Germany, it represents a symbol of a formidable, but conquered enemy. The Luger has come to bear a sinister, almost forbidden connotation, as is often evidenced by its use in films, novels, and plays by the villain, and never by the "good guy." Owning a Luger imparts a sense of victory over evil, and fondling and shooting one just emphasizes that feeling.
