Hello again,
Just an update. I found a site listing models of German pistols used
during World War 2, and each name links to pictures, but that's all.
No specifications or other details listed.
I am also wondering if you want pistols made only by Germany. There
are several types of handguns that were not made by German makers, but
were used by the German military then. Would you accept this in an
answer? Do let me know, thank you.

forces,the FN Belgium Hi-Power as example. Thanks!!

Hello Para1234,
I post this assuming that just pictures and some basic information are
sufficient for you, as that is all I could find about some of the
firearms you are looking for. But I found history and specifications
for most of the guns. So I was able to find several sites with
features on German firearms, and I searched for those that were used
by the Germans in World War 2 and were made from 1935 to 1945. I will
just list the websites below.

Source pages:
The Curio and Relic Weapons Gallery Presents: Pistols and Revolvers
http://home.comcast.net/~robbj/Pistolspage.html
- Lists probably all the guns Germans used in WW2, but with only
pictures, no specs shown. Not all were made in 1935 to 1945, but I
believe all made in this time period are included. Look for guns under
the heading Germany and those with 'German Occupation'.
