actually now that i look at it more, it does certainly have that nazi'ish tinge to it. the uniform, the torches... :|

[SR15]

all they need is svasticas,,, rofl

[talib_killa34]

Well, it would bother me if they legalized the swaztika and wore it as an armband again...those soldiers look like SS if they do...but I trust Germany is well beyond going back to THAT again.
:|

[b.scheller]

you'd think after 60 years, they would design a different kind of uniform...its quite pathetic

[ZeroPositive]

No way the uniform rocks, looks totally neat and does what a uniform is meant to do.

They aren't SS or whatever so give it a rest.

[Chrome Beretta]

Lol, they do kinda look like SS. At this army navy store i went to, they had some German WWII helmets.


Thanks for teh pics.

[ZeroPositive]

God SS would be an All Black UNiform with White webbing/gloves/belt with the Lighting bolt Runes on the collars...
Also you probably would see a crap load of them...

[b.scheller]

zero man, relax. I understand the fact that the uniforms worn by the German soldiers in the picture are not of the SS, BUT they are very similar in nature to that of the World War II German Armed Forces and the East German Army.

[ZeroPositive]

the uniform goes back to the first world war and has some pre world war one uniform characteristics...

Yeah just irratated that people would start saying OMG THEY MUST BE SS due to the old style of unifom......

[UoUo]

These Uniform reminds me and i think milliom more so much ****ing bad things....

:roll: the germans couldn't find another type of uniform? :roll:

I mean sure the uniform has some historical value, but that doesn't mean it has to remain the same. Alot of countries that have had alot of history behind their uniform have changed theirs, and people are still able to identify with it.

Of course. Identify with doesn't mean trying to recreate it. A nation cannot simply deny the less honorable events of its history and yet progress. Germany wouldn't be what it is today had it not acknowledged its past and the burden of its responsibilities. Had Germany decided to deny its past, there would be no recognition of the Holocaust. Can you picture that for a moment? The whole german people living in denial of the holocaust? I don't see how this could be positive in any way. The recognition is a direct consequence of acknowledgement, and without identification, there is no acknowlegment. I think Germany is a better country today because it went through this difficult process. I also believe other nations ought to do the same, as Kitsune pointed out in another thread, but that's another thing. You can't erase the past, might as well draw lessons from it and have the balls to admit what we've done was wrong and shoulder the responsability.

http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/08/16/berlin.holocaust.ap/

I think you confuse "identify" with "idolize". You can't bear responsability if you can't identify with the perpetrators. You can't say " We are collectively sorry" for something if you can't recognize the perpetrators has your own. If you don't, it all amounts to finger-pointing, but no one takes the blame. The German people is beyond that point by now. They have recognized their deeds and they bear the stigma. More than most nations can claim, AFAIC. Go to Japan see if they feel sorry for what they did, go see if they have memorial to the Chinese they exterminated, to the Korean women they forced into ****** slavery. You won't find it. But you will find a shrine to honor the Japanese soldiers, war criminals included. I can't think of a single country that faced its responsibilities to the extent Germany has.

[DE_Six]

FFS "identification" and "remember" are not the same word!

Did you read my post? If you can't recognize what you did, you can't remember it. You remember a slandered version of history. And you can't recognize your faults if you refuse to identify yourself to your past. If you don't, you're just shifting the blame.

If all this is about their uniform, come on. The PASGT helmet design is the most effective shape for head protection. Heck, even Israeli soldiers use it.
And camouflage is a battlefield necessity. Let's get over the fact Waffen SS also used some.
And their uniform on this pic is of their service color. It's not black, heck it's not even feldgrau. It's frickin' blue. Should they dress in pink? They're soldiers, jeez.

You faild to understand to understnad what i mean by saying "don't Identification with your past! remember it!"

But it could be just me.
(and it's not sarcasm).

[DE_Six]

Yeah, I get it. No hard feelings.

I'm just saying we shouldn't try to see too much into this. I think Germany has done enough in term of remembrance, we could cut them some slack sixty years after. It took 50 years for the FRG to authorize foreign deployment of its troops as peacekeepers, out of fear the idea of German soldiers abroad might offend some. They have fully reintegrated the world community by now, I think we can entrust them with the design of their uniform.

[UoUo]

Germanny did good job in remember her past.

We allerdy forgive. :hug:

[Ghostwolf]

Yes that is definitely true, except for the Japanese government though.

[cropduster]

I think DE6 uses "identify" as a synonym for accepting as part of history, not to deny what happenend and to learn for the future. We all agree about that and shouldnt bother about using misleading words as we all now what is meant.

[FB]

I mean sure the uniform has some historical value, but that doesn't mean it has to remain the same. Alot of countries that have had alot of history behind their uniform have changed theirs, and people are still able to identify with it.

Yes, a lot of nations did what you say.

Now it would be interesting to find out who did not, or who are still wearing symbols on their uniforms that could carry, in the eyes of someone, some extremely negative feelings.

Does the U.S. Army bear symbols on its uniforms that are the same that they wore during the battles, for instance, against the American Natives? Maybe something similar can be said for the Canadians, or for the Japanese, the Russians and so on. Where is the limit?

There are *big* diffrend between let's say candain history..and the german history.

[deutschersoldat]

this german uniforms are over 100 years old, so there is nor reason for this discussion ;)

[caleb]

thanks deutscher, for bringing this ridiculous discussion to an end. The "SS look" comes with the uniform-style of those old times, also the ritual of the military farewell has nothing to do with Nazi ideology.

Also some very good points by DE6, I enjoyed reading your posts.

[FB]

There are *big* diffrend between let's say candain history..and the german history.

Yeah, but people can't complain we wouldn't do enough against Nazi ideology.

[AVZ]

Nice thread :D

As others said: Germany has learned more about their history than other countries have done about their history!!


Every Nazi sign or song or whatever is forbidden by law and will be punished.

So our freedom is in this part very limited but that is very good!!!!! In other countries like the US or I think also Denmark you can do and show any signs or flags you want!!


Besides: Never heard anything bad about Germany from people having been in Germany!!

You will make big eyes if you see some people not singing the national anthem for examle. Most of the foreign people I spoke to always wondered about the germans to be so unpatriotic. That's exactly the situation here in Germany.
For example: In the event of hanging out our national flag on our national holiday alot of german people will look askance at you and these persons will judge you Nazis just because you are showing your national flag!!!
Help if I'm wrong but isn't THAT crazy????? And that is very common here. The others will tell you.


besides: I loved to read this thread

For example the Flecktar Pattern used today is based on the 1944 Dot Pattern camo used by the Waffen SS:

The BGS( Bundesgrenzschutz )or "Tan and Water" camo patern from WWII Wermacht is still in use by the german border guards and even on the helmets of the GSG9 :

[McLane]

It's the best camo for our landscape! The flecktarn is also used by other countries and, if i remeber right, the firm, which produced the first flecktarn-uniform (beinnging 90s) were hosted in ex-yugoslavia.

Why change the well-workin' camo? It looks a little bit like dot-camo from the Wehrmacht or SS - but is that so bad? As one said before:

We learn much about our history, special the bad things of our history, it's not like in other countries where always the good times were teached. In the USA, BG , France and many other mighty-countries you often find not a bad word about their history.

I like our national-flagg, because it's from the 1848-revolution, like the tricolore from 1789 by france. But her ein germany there are only two reasons to show a flagg on a federal-building: national-holiday or someone offical (policemen, politicians) were killed. And if you want to buy a flagg, you have to go to an Fanshop for soccer-stuff or go to an weapon/arms-shop (and we have only a few here ;)).

I hope I translated it well enough.

He is right in saying "they don't wear it on purpose to look like a Nazi"









Who says anything different should live some time in Germany to get to know people and culture. After that I'm willing to listen to anybodys comments about generating alll germans to Nazis or whatever.
just some thoughts. don't wanna offend ya :hug:

[pretorian669]

BTW A question to the german friends on this board.Does the GSG9 use the BGS camo other than helmet covers?
Like full uniforms for the snipers or operations in non urban areas? If so are there any pictures?Even if not of GSG9 but pictures of german border guards wearing that type of camo?
Thanks...

[Macs.]

The GSG-9 doesn't use those camo helm covers anymore, they use blue/black covers. Snipers use "chilly suites" (don't know if this is the right word)

http://www.military.cz/special_forces/gsg9/membergsg9.jpg


And I have never seen border guards using this camos, normally they just wear something greenish.

[McLane]

Snipers uses the Ghilie-Suit

The Pics that you posted (the older ones with the old camo) ar not longer active - Somtimes they uses this one (from the german SWAT-Policemen):

http://www3.mdr.de/dokumentationen/bilder/sek.jpg


But mostley the black/blue-camo you see in the post from Macs



-----

But it's true, the Border-guards sometimes uses this old camo - but not in the last years, i think. It must be older, but they weared this camo, that's for sure.

[pretorian669]

Thanks Alot!!!!!!!!!
So what type of camo does the Bundesgrenzschutz use today?Flecktarn?

[HALo]

They have police uniforms

Thanks.I'm looking for pictures of german border guards wearing the BGS camo patern...

[HALo]

I think they don't have one because they are police forces. The GSG9 might have one but usually they operate without camo .. it's a police unit

Here are two (German BGS 1 + 2) I've never seen before except on the old GSG9 helmets

Ach!!!!

All this discussion over the picture I mentioned!

They look sharp, nuff said!

The uniforms have alot of proud martial tradition and the Germans have accounted fully for the past. I agree about the difference between them and Japan.

Germans do not need to be reminded about WWI and WWII, they remember!

Now, I only see a strong NATO ally and partner that has been there with the US and UK for the past 60 years!


Rest assured. ;)

[HALo]

btw: i think, the descriptions of the pics from the so called 'Grosser Zapfenstreich' are wrong :D
Federal President Johannes Rau is in the middle, the man on the right is Deputy Defence Minister Walter Kolbow (he isn't Deputy Defence Minister, isn't he? He's a State Secretary of the Ministry of Defense) and Chief of Staff Wolfgang Schneiderhahn is of course the man wearing uniform on left ;)

Errr...I think they did.

Having folks herd you into industrial killing facilities for extermination...

Then moving to a place where people proclaim their total commitment to your complete destruction...


'Though PLO Chief Yasir Arafat had agreed to the annulment of the PLO's destruction- of-Israel clause during the Palestinian self-rule talks with Israel, the Israeli 'Hatikvah' news service has monitored dozens of 'jihad' (holy war) speeches by Arafat over the last year calling explicitly for 'the capture of Jerusalem and territory held by 'infidels'.' Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein quickly sided with the PLO calling on them to work for the 'return of all the occupied land in Palestine.' -- Twentieth Century W'The decision to favor Jordan as the controller of Jerusalem's Islamic holy sites has angered the PLO, which has issued belligerent statements declaring that it WILL NOT annul the section of its charter calling for the DESTRUCTION of the state of Israel until the Jewish state has completely withdrawn from 'Arab territories' and begun negotiations to cede Jerusalem to the PLO as its capital.

...would make me hug my tank and use it often as well.

If anyone has earned the right to be left alone, it is the Jews in Israel. Yet they continue to dogged to death by "nice" folks like the Germans and the Arabs...

Wonder why? :cantbeli:
