Maybe the pistol is at the Barbie museum?

Walther PPk is rare in 6.35mm (commentator said "point two five").

The video focuses on Hitler's so-called death guns. But I suspect Hitler's guns were kinda like Hitler's cars. There were many of them. Including many at the same time. The Geli Raubal 1931 suicide/murder gun from Hitler's apartment is said to have been a Smith & Wesson .22 revolver. Which was brought back from Munich to the US by an American GI.

In the early part of the video, Berlin battle scenes were shown. We get a brief glimpse of a German soldier shooting a scope rifle. Darned if in that quick view the rifle doesn't look like a sporter model of some kind. The frames right after that show a soldier shooting an MP.44, the "first assault rifle." The Russian artillery soldiers appear to have M.38 Mosin-Nagants slung across their backs.

It's like the British inter/post war sports car, the ERA. Only about fifty or so were built between 1933 and 1954, of which almost sixty have survived.
