I'm gonna take a real wild-assed guess here about the .38 M&P that Hermann Goering apparently had when he was caught bu the Allies- After his "Fubar" with the Luftwaffe superiority became a joke-- "Call me Meyer-"-- he may have seen the end of the Third Reich and put out a quiet word that he would pay a premium to any Luftwaffe Pilot that brought him a .38 revolver and ammo taken from a captured Allied pilot-- "for his collection", when his drug addled brain may have suggested to him- that the SS had maybe removed or shortened the firing pin on his Walther in secret--
Part of the same paranoia that affect Napoleon Bonaparte also affected Hitler- any as the Russians were closing in on Berlin, both Goering and Himmler tried to escape undetected-- only Goebbels and his wife and children remained to die with Adolph and Eva in the bunker in Berlin-- sort of a Teutonic play on the old "rats deserting the sinking ship" scenario.
This is just conjecture, not based on fact--
