Volunteered for Wehrmacht service
Because his birth year (1919) was not fully drafted until beginning of war, August/September 1939. The last regular draft call before war, that of fall, 1938, took in men born in 1917. For fall, 1939, without war, 1918 was planned. Wagner took part in the Invasion of Poland, so he must have finished at least his "basic training" before. So, people of his age (and younger, volunteering was allowed from finishing age 17) must have been volunteers at this early stage of war, fall 1939. --2001:A61:2B86:9801:D555:368A:6C92:9AF7 (talk) 05:41, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The English Wikipedia doesn't use editors' conclusions – see WP:SYNTH and WP:OR in general. Reliable published sources are required – see WP:V. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:06, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

---thats ok. I want to fix a point that tends to be distorted. In the sense that is said, Wagner had to serve in Wehrmacht despite of the good contact his family, esp. Winifred W., had to Hitler & the Nazis. --2001:A61:2B86:9801:D555:368A:6C92:9AF7 (talk) 07:20, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I can't find any such distortion in this article. So, until sourced, I'm going to restore "joined the German Army". -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:33, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * o.k., joined is better than drafted (which misleds), anyhow. --2001:A61:2B86:9801:D555:368A:6C92:9AF7 (talk) 07:42, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
