Personally, I doubt if he is the last German Great War veteran. The size of the German Army in 1918, and the fact that it was using conscripts from the Class of 1920 in the Last 100 days, logically means that a few more should be alive. The reasons why they are not feted like they are in the UK or US is another thing altogether, of course.
