Adopted by the German Wehrmacht at the end of 1939, more than 1.2
million P.38s were manufactured up to 1945. Designed by the Walther
company from its civilian model PP, it was the first double-action
military pistol. Its robustness and simplicity of manufacture made
it a worthy successor to the legendary P.08 Luger in the Second
World War. This illustrated book presents the design,
manufacturing, and development of the various models, from initial
acceptance by the German military in 1938 through their production
and use from 1939 to 1945. Includes close-up views of markings and
other details, as well as a visual breakdown of the weapon.
Accessories such as magazines, ammunition, holsters, and cleaning
kits are featured throughout the book, as are rarely seen
combat-related uniform and equipment items.
