History
Georg Luger developed the 7.65mm cartridge from earlier 7.65 mm rounds. As mentioned, it was used in the DWM Pistole-Parabellum ('Luger pistol'). The 7.65mm Parabellum cartridge uses a shorter cartridge case than the 7.65×25mm Borchardt, 7.63×25mm Mauser, and 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridges, which are about the same length.
