Somebody posted a pic not too terribly long ago that showed, IIRC, a G.I. (and maybe more) in front of some open crates full of Lugers. As I recall, the pic was hypothesized to have been the source of the rumor to which you refer. No sense in believing that rumor, either, though, I guess, though it's quite a feasible explanation.
Some good old-fashioned documentation or evidence of the practice would be convincing!
