Why would American soldiers stationed in the Pacific islands have German paraphernalia?

Some US Servicemen may have transferred to the PTO from the ETO (Pacific Theater of Operations and European Theater of Operations); or, if the material is "dated", meaning from WW1 (1914-1918), some of those islands were German territory and Japan took them by force in WW1 (Japan was an ally in WW1). Example: A German Luger pistol is a WW1 handgun. WW2 German handguns were Walther P-38's. Although there might be some production models going into the 1940's; there's always exceptions to the rule(s). Lastly, Japanese and German submarines were in constant communication with each other; mostly traversing the Indian ocean.
