Considering the fact that the tags could have been picked up on the battle field combined with the fact that Jack was bi-lingual in German and English made him more than a little suspicious.

James Green, who testified to Jack's identity, was a member of 508th's HQ 3rd (as was Jack) and was easily able to confirm that he was legitimate and not a German imposter.
