   Great writing, as always! But you forgot to change the HTML title from the placeholder, and the link to the first footnote has the wrong filename. Out of practice? :P

Just a little. (Although I think the second one was just a typo.)

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.

I don't remember this specific one, but I remember you mentioning the author. In particular, I recall he subscribes to the theory that the 1895 Nagant revolver is a barely controllable hand cannon that can kill big game and light armored vehicles.

That's the one, indeed. He also strongly endorse Soviet guns in general, on the basis of their significant quality and reliability over the German ones. I went and had a look, and I comment on his his opinion on the Glicenti in the GotW about the DeLameter Mk IV.

That, incidentally, is a butt-pain to type with Swedish autocorrect activated...it keeps wanting to make it into "split meter". Grmblfckmttr.
