Wehrmacht service?

Why is this worth special mention in an encyclopedia entry about a person famous for his 1980s firearm design? By 1944-45 virtually every able bodied male in Germany and Austria was involved in some form of military service, so it should be no surprise that a teenage Gaston Glock was among them. Let me guess, someone wants to connect the dots leading all the way to some SS camp where young Gaston himself probably ran the crematorium. Does anyone know if Herr Glock prefers boxers or briefs? This information should be added posthaste. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.235.51.166 (talk) 21:40, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's nonsense, long ago removed from the Glock page. I'll remove it here and see if someone puts it back, because it's like you said: someone is trying to connect Gaston Glock to atrocities with weasel words. 75.75.161.181 (talk) 19:36, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did this person or didn't he serve in the Wehrmacht? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 03:29, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
