    Apocalypse: The Second World War

    This is a series that I just started watching. There is a clip of Hitler with SS troops during the invasion of Poland and he is wearing a sidearm. I don't ever recall seeing him wearing one before.

    I could be wrong here Bernie but I think there was some kind of regulation that anyone at the front during an invasion had to be armed. Perhaps someone will know for sure.

        Interesting! Maybe someone know (from the holster), what is the pistol he is using?

            Thank you florian_geyer72. That raising another question? Did Hitler ever tries or practicing the pistol apart from his WW1 experiences? I never read that Hitler even rehearsed it

              He also carried a pistol during what he called " the early struggles" in fact the beer hall putsch started by him shooting a shot in the air and I think he actually shot at someone during one of his speeches during the Wiemar days and I believe he was shot at several times so I imagine he was pretty handy with a gun. Also what is interesting is there is a gold gun attributed to him at West Point that is pretty cool, I highly doubt he was carrying it in that pic but it's interesting to see it.
