Did Weyl return to Germany within two, three or four years after arrival in America to fight for Germany in World War I?[edit]

The article contains this sentence, "He served as a first lieutenant of infantry in the German Reichswehr, according to his World War I draft registration card". The following text, however, indicates, "Weyl immigrated to the US on 31 March 1912, according to his 1933 petition for citizenship, on the SS Königin Luise (1896). He worked as an architect in California, first in San Francisco for the architect John W. Reid, Jr., a designer of the San Francisco Civic Center and many schools. Weyl moved to Los Angeles in 1923..."

This seeming contradiction raises the question of whether it was possible that two, three or four years after his March 1912 arrival in America at the age of 21, Weyl returned to Germany between the first guns of August 1914 and America's declaration of war against Germany in April 1917 to serve as a German officer fighting against America and, upon Armistice in November 1918, returned to America to work as an architect in San Francisco and move, in 1923, to Los Angeles, and apply for American citizenship in 1933.

This timeline seems unlikely and is, perhaps, the result of some misunderstanding. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 05:51, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
