At 50, Brad Pitt, as Wardaddy, is considerably older than the average WWII NCO (non-commissioned officer), who likely would have been in his mid-twenties to early thirties. (David Ayer had originally written the character to be in his late twenties, but looking middle-aged due to the stress of war.) Considering his age, choice of sidearm, and long service record mentioned in the film, it's entirely possible that Wardaddy is a WWI veteran. It would also explain why he knew German before the war started. However, the scene where the tank drives past an entire German town on fire originally ran longer, and had Wardaddy explaining that his mother originally came from a small German town, not unlike the one they are just passing. This would imply he learned German from his mother.
