Lugers issued to enlisted men in WW2?

My older brother captured a German enlisted man in Germany late in the war. The man was wearing a belt holding a repaired WW1 holster with a WW1 Luger inside engraved on the front grip strap with the unit I.D.. The belt buckle has a double runne stamp on the back.
It is my contention that my brother captured an officer in an enlisted man's uniform.

Were Lugers issued to enlisted men in WW2?

Your opinions will be appreciated.
