I believe I've already mentioned the great fantabulator Sven Hassel in the GotW section, and he's at it again!

In one of the books, the penal unit at the center of his stories are the guard unit for the commander of "Greater Paris", presumably Choltitz though I can't actually remember if it was. During this guard duty, they run into two officers of the Secret Field Police, the Gefepo. And it so goes that one of the soldiers of the 27th trades gun with one of the Gefepo men.

What he hands over is a Glisenti, which the Gefepo man happily takes, putting it in his shoulder holster and savoring the weight. And, here it comes:

"Enjoying the solid weight of one of the best handguns in the world, not knowing how difficult it was to find ammo for it."


Yeah. In fact, I think I noted just this, somewhere back in the annals of time here.
