Hats off to Capt Wild.
On another note, is anyone else thinking that this dropzone flash may easily be mistaken for a Polish flag?

Its maroon and blue rather than red and white and - as @BravoZulu notes - is the DZ flash for Depot Para so unlikely to be worn by anyone on ops. Its been used since 1941 without any complaints from Warsaw...

Now, call me sexist but… damn. ?
In this tongue-in-cheek documentary reel by the German military, the presenter visits the Guards Battalion – which was actually the last unit of the Bundeswehr to accept female recruits. Their hesitation was due to concerns about maintaining a uniform appearance (small or exceptionally tall men were also rejected), and about the female anatomy getting in the way of the K98k. Which it kind of does… and I'm not mad about it.
