An historical question.

[Hoyt Weathers]

My older brother captured a German enlisted soldier late in WW2. On the soldier was a WW 1 era Luger in a repaired holtster, held by a belt. On the back of belt buckle was a double runne stamp.

Now for my question: Did the Germans issue Lugers to enlisted men?

My contention to my brother is that he captured an officer in an enlisted man's uniform.

Thank you for any comments.
