From everything that I've read and heard from ETO veterans, the Germans coveted the American cigarettes since the quality of the American tobacco was much better than the German/European stuff. So packs of Camels and especially Lucky Strikes were some of the first items taken from American POWs and dead. So it wouldn't be out of place to have German soldiers smoking American cigarettes.
