    Yes. I'm sure that many many soldiers had these in their kit.
    Greetings Gents,

    Below is an image of an example of items laid out by a German POW for inspection by his American captors in March of 1918. See the red circled area and you will view one of the type of knives discussed amongst the POW's kit.

    And as the post by Gwar clearly points out, having DRGM is no guarantee that something was made during the Third Reich (or before) as the designation was used in Germany until 1952.

    Here is a comparison between a 20 year old example, and an older one. I believe the DRGM one is war time.
    The shape of the lock release button is also important in determining the age of these. The newer examples are a bit shorter as well.
