      Not a military model, and perhaps not German. German bikes should have a front brake on the handlebar...my Police handbook for bike riders states the bike should have two different types of brakes. Also the handlebars appear to be mounted quite high. However it appears to be about the right age. You could make it represent the sort of bikes that were taken into the military service...

          Hello
          Your bike is most likely Swiss.
          The little leather pouch is the one you will se on original military Swiss bike.
          If it is cheap enough ,you could probably restore it into a German one ( for display only ,of course!!!)
          Best Regards
