Walter Reinhardt Sombre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaWalter Reinhardt Sombre was German (not French), as per your post above this....Also, from the name itself, it is very clear that he was a German.
Sombre is thought to have been born in Strasbourg or Treves.[2] His nationality is uncertain, being given in various sources as Austrian,[3] French,[4] German,[5] Luxemburger, or Swiss.[6] One version is that he was born in a village called Ort Simmern near Trier (Treves). There are still Reinhardts in the area.

Mexican cartels are recruiting hit men from the U.S. military, offering big money to highly-trained soldiers to carry out contract killings and potentially share their skills with gangsters south of the border, according to law enforcement experts.
The involvement of three American soldiers in separate incidents, including a 2009 murder that led to last week's life sentence for a former Army private, underscore a problem the U.S. military has fought hard to address.
"We have seen examples over the past few years where American servicemen are becoming involved in this type of activity," said Fred Burton, vice president for STRATFOR Global Intelligence. "It is quite worrisome to have individuals with specialized military training and combat experience being associated with the cartels."
