The German Luger piston is a nice pistol with a good feel that makes it easy to point and shoot. It was a well-known weapon and had been the side arm for the German army since 1917. The American soldier wanted a to get a Luger as a souvenir. He could not use it in combat. The Army frowned upon using enemy weapons. Also, they could not obtain ammunition for the gun.
My Father brought back a captured German Luger and the smaller Walther PP, which was used by many military police and high-ranking officers. The German Helmet and the Luger pistol and maybe the Iron Cross medal were the most popular souvenir items that the American soldier sought after.
