Luger Cache w/US GIs during WWII

Great stories! I noticed "capture paper" appeared many times..... one question regarding it: All capture papers that I've seen so far are WWII. Is it WWII specific? No capture paper for WWI .... at least I have not seen one yet. Any information? Thanks.

Deeper Qs:

. When was capture paper "invented"?
. What was the intention of capture paper?
. The stamp on it has big title "Headquarter....", but who actually issued those papers, based on what type of evidence?
