I don’t know when the first Inglis Hi-Powers were issued to Allied troops, but the Germans had been using FN made versions since they captured the factory in 1940. The Hi-Power was one of the few guns widely used by both sides.

Yes, there is a widely distributed picture of an SS officer carrying a Browning. I think I have read that the Hi-Power was very popular with the Waffen SS.
