The Luger holsters were generally worn on the left side and canting them toward the rear made drawing the gun with right hand easier... the left hand pulled the inside strap which raised the grip high enough for the gun to be drawn. I would imagine that it also made riding in a vehicle a little easier, and made the gun accessible while sitting down. (Likely a GOOD thing in a combat situation...)
