Germany’s military operations on the Russian front, as well as Allied operations in North Africa, Sicily and Italy and an expected second front in France, led to ever increasing demands for small arms, including the P.38.
The result was that Mauser’s first production P.38 did not roll off the assembly line until late September 1942, and the first delivery of Mauser P.38s to the Army did not occur until late December 1942. Despite the fact that Mauser would only have to manufacture an existing Walther design, as opposed to designing a new weapon, testing it, making product improvements, etc., Mauser experienced numerous production delays. This led, in May or June 1940, to Mauser being asked to examine the possibility of producing the P.38. The exigencies of the war, however, led to a halt of experimentation since the Wehrmacht needed existing weapons delivered in large numbers. This led other German arms manufacturers to experiment with designs incorporating more steel stampings. The P.38, although a significant improvement over the P.08 Luger, still involved time-consuming and expensive machining of parts. Walther continued to refine the design of the P.38 with other variants that went into production.
