Yes they were. Siemens and I.G.Farben worked on medical lasers and
beam weaponry during World War II, for those specific purposes.

source on lasers in germany in WWII?

The lasers that they worked on in WWII were not the
optical and fiber lasers used today. They were just modifed
X-ray equipment.

Since the lasers used today assume you know
something about digital computers and Turing machines,
rather than military morons.
