This video explores the Walther HP pistol, the direct precursor to the widely adopted German P38. The HP (Heeres Pistole or Army Pistol) was initially offered for both commercial sale and export. Notably, it was adopted by the Swedish army in 1939, though the outbreak of war limited shipments, forcing Walther to focus on German military production. The description also mentions commercial sales to Austrian military personnel, whose pistols often entered German service post-annexation. The P38 emerged from minor modifications requested by the German military for the standard HP design.
