Forgot Sgt. Schultz's real name, but heard on another web site that he was Jewish and had relatives who had perished in a concentration camp. For that reason he refused to carry a K98, and the show's producers obliged him and found out that the Germans had captured a lot of Krags and many were indeed issued to non - front line troops like guards and security personnel. So supposedly him carrying a Krag was historically correct for many, but not all, guards. Read this on another internet site so I can't vouch for its authenticity. Any truth to it ?
Here's a link for the Sgt. Schultz info. Both he and Col. Klink were Jewish.
