Why was the Welrod pistol so successful for silent sentry removal during World War 2?

As you might know, the Welrod is a small caliber integrally suppressed bolt action pistol. This means that firing it makes very little noise (bullets don't break the sound barrier, firing it doesn't cycle the action and the cartridge doesn't have a lot of potential for noise-making). I suspect this is similar to how it ought to be used:
Stalk the sentry you're to remove. Once you're close enough, line up the Welrod with the base of the sentry's skull and fire. Then quickly catch the sentry before he falls and makes a lot of noise. Drag him into a dark little corner. Rinse and repeat as necessary. If there are multiple sentries, coordinate your removal with your friends.
