were all Germans right handed??

Back to the original question ,"were all Germans right handed?" Well, no. I would suspect that about 5 to 10 percent were left handed, just like everywhere else. But, I imagine that the Wehrmacht had a system for "weeding" them out, if they were a "problem". It's really no surprise that most objects are oriented for right-handers, as they make up 90 to 95 percent of the population. Anyone who says, "well, just make a mirror image", Or "just reverse it" has obviously never done that.
