    He had to have German citizenship to be in wehrmacht. To be fair some minorities like Silesians and Kaszubs were automatically assigned those and then conscripted, but this guy being a Lithuanian i suspect he was literally a Lithuanian German and while he could be conscriped, but Lithuanians did not authomatically got German citizenship, he needed to either have it even before the war or apply after occupation of LSSR by Germany.
