There maybe hundreds of photos in the net showing armed forces with their standard issue firearms, long and short, however I feel it is important to us being High Power fans to see them here in our forum. However, I can only post their links (so as not to gobble space here) and some quoted paragraphs to describe what the photos are saying. To start: ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=15206"A Soviet soldier teaching partisan fighters how to operate a Browning Hi-Power handgun, near Smolensk, Russia, 23 Aug 1941" worap.wordpress.com/2016/11/16/classic-handguns-the-browning-hi-power/ "Even Russian forces used the Hi Power during World War Two. Here a group of partisans are being trained in the use of the Hi Power."
