My bet that he was Volksdeutsche. Germans didn't trust collaborators to serve as tank crews unless they were considered German too.
He had to have German citizenship to be in wehrmacht. To be fair some minorities like Silesians and Kaszubs were automatically assigned those and then conscripted, but this guy being a Lithuanian i suspect he was literally a Lithuanian German and while he could be conscriped, but Lithuanians did not authomatically got German citizenship, he needed to either have it even before the war or apply after occupation of LSSR by Germany.
Read that as VolksDouche at first. Thought some fun new Nazi insult dropped while I was busy.
