Hi,

Maybe because it wasn't in France neither in Germany but still in occupied zone - by French - since the end of WWI.
In fact it was an autonomous land up to 1935 and back to Germany after that. Therefore, I can suppose the link you did consult is a little bit wrong in terms of dates/status...

Best regards, Franck.
