Considering how much has been written, and for how long about the Luger and the history of the 9mm Parabellum, I find it rather mind boggling that someone would write something so different from the widely known history, without providing a (valid) source.

Everything I've ever seen agrees it was the German army who refused to adopt the Luger in .30 caliber.

Without some hard reference to the contrary, one wonders if the writer did even basic research.

IF so, apparently, not enough...
