Default Band of Brothers Book Luger again :)

I am reading Band of Brothers right now and it is very good. On page 244, there is this quote:


Garrison life was soft, but it had it's price. to bring discipline and appearance up to a proper rear echelon standard the Army had to have some method of enforcing rules and regulations. A private received $50 per month base pay, $50 bonus for hazardous duty and an additional $10 for combat pay...a man found in improper uniform was fined $5.00. Carrying a Luger in one's pocket cost $25.00 ... speeding in a jeep or truck cost $20.00, disorderly conduct was a $25.00 offense.

This is a good observation that relates to the "1911..." thread way down below. I would add that this is in context to the immediate post surrender occupation period and therefore different to what was enforced during combat in regards to carring captured weapons.
