Did Germany issue LH holsters?

With left handlers comprising 10%+ of the population, did the Wehrmacht issue left handed holsters? A soldier would scarcely be able to defend himself with a holster for the opposing hand? I’ve never seen the subject discussed.
 
I have heard no; you had to learn how to shoot right handed. My grandfather mentioned that when he was in basic in October of 1941 his Drill Sergeant's made or tried to make him learn how to shoot right handed as well. Something akin to just short of them almost breaking him left hand once, still didn't take lol. My guess dress right dress no left handed anything. I bought my own left handed stuff while on active duty. Still haven't found much that works well for me.
