Far better than the so called "French-German friendship". Great Britain and the German states, especially Prussia and Hanover e.g. were always allies til the French poisened this relationship before WW 1.
I liked the British very much during my time in the Bundeswehr. Very professional, well trained. When they were withdrawn from Hamelin, I felt it was a great loss. I would like them to be here again. Fortunately, many have stayed here with their German wives and families. We are Europeans and must stick together
As a former sergeant in the German Air Force it's great to see how NATO brought created this strong bond of 2 amazing forces. And on a sidenote... I miss my 96.5 station of BFBS in Germany. Especially David Rodigan and this amazing jingle "Rodigan rockers on BFBS. Keeping you in touch with home" You guys had the most amazing music during the late 80s and early 90s!
Oh, yes. Absolutely! I miss BFBS terribly (best German radio station back then). Rodigan and his jingles and the amazing atmosphere of his shows. Richard Nankivell -old horse. And the Comedy shows. And… Gosh, I really miss it. (96.5, i am quite sure)
My buddy who was in the Belgian paratroopers in the 90s said the same thing to me about British radio. When he visited me in America a few years ago he was so sad we didn’t play his favorites all day.
Hmm, it depends on the area, in my personal opinion the traditional (modern day) German Flecktarn contains a bit too much reddish brown, and one of the greens are more like a grey I can't seem to find in nature - until we here in Denmark switched to Multicam, we used a version of the German Flecktarn with no brown at all, but two greens and a black, and although I _also_ felt ours had too much black, it worked surprisingly well in Denmark. However, if we look at the pattern they use in Sweden, our close neighbors, it's a totally different concept, and it might not make a whole lot of sense to anyone outside of Sweden, but I've seen it in use in Sweden, and it works remarkably well in the rockier areas. The thing is, in Sweden they have a terrain type called "blokmark" which consists of basically lots and lots and lots of rocks with no end in sight, and the very "simple and blocky" pattern suits the terrain very well. And the pattern looks badass, despite its lesser effectiveness here in Denmark. I think the idea behind Multicam, as the name suggests, is to sort of bridge the distance between the various US versions we've seen over the years, and something that is more specialized, and to overall make something that'll work equally well nationally, and abroad, aswell as sort of attempt to set a NATO standard (I'm sure the manufactureres would just love that), but in reality it most likely isn't possible to find _one_ pattern that'll work perfectly in any environment, just look at the differences between the Danish M84 and the Swedish M90 "lövhögen", the colors may be more or less the same, but the two types are clearly made for two very different environments.
@@mace8873 the new German multitarn is waaaaay lighter. Exactly for the reason you mentioned. Apart from a dense coniferous forest (black forest for example) there are limited usecases for the dark and brown Flecktarn at this time and age...
It's crazy to remember stories told by my grandparents from northern Germany: 80 years ago british soldiers were "stationed" in their houses, living rooms etc. Back then Germans and Brits used to get along as enemies and now we get along as friends.
The red berets that modern German paratroopers use are actually derived from the red berets of the British paratroopers, who first introduced them in WWII. After WWII, when the German military was reconstituted ,they took the red berets from their British NATO allies. The same way the US Green Berets (US Army Special Forces) got their green berets from the British Commandos.
Panzerjägers are historically the main tank destroyer units of Germany like both infantry and vehicles (especially tank destroyers) are called Panzerjägers
Hope we never have to see British and Germans fighting alongside each other, but if it ever comes I wouldn't want to be the other lot. If they actually survive meeting both of us, they will have an experience of ferocity, courage, determination and skill - that they will never forget.
I still miss the "This is BFBS. British Forces Radio." If I missed traffic information on full and half hour in german channels I always switched to 96,5 MHZ at quater past and quater to: "A 46 towards Dubbel-U-Upper-Valley, between junction x and y three kay jam."

British and Germans were artificially divided and forced to fight each other by their rulers in the first half of the 20th century, but that was an unnatural turn of history because we are actually brothers and sisters, with Anglo-Saxons coming mainly from different parts of North Germany and the British monarchs having a German lineage. As a German I hope we now remain allied in perpetuity!
@@Melior_Traiano So do you. Would you love your friends if they didn't satisfy your social needs? Call it interests or whatever but we have the same blood, we shouldn't fight each other ever again
@@TreFZger It wasn't me who said it, but rather Charles DeGaulle and if you study history, he was certainly correct. Alliances change all the time. Used to be that Great Britain and Prussia were allies. The British had been fighting the French for centuries until Germany unified, industrialised and Kaiser Wilhelm got rid of Bismarck. In a similar vein the United States and Great Britain used to be enemies. Today they have a "special relationship".
It is always fun and good to train with the Brits, lots of humor. I had my chance to train with the Royal Marines when I was serving in the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Good chaps. We talked and trained a lot on cqb movement and room clearing. The use of breaching charges like C2. Learning how to use the SA80 and their DMR (dont remember the name of) also the GPMG (it is really familiar as the KSP-58 (it is the FN MAG) All I can say is good people, friendly, and the best of luck to them.
Their DMR is the L129A1, made by Lewis Machine and Tool (LMT) in the US. I had a chance to handle some of their weapons, but not shoot them, in Sweden recently. It was really funny seeing that the Swedish had painted their M2 .50 cals green just like the Ak5s.
The narrator clearly knows what he is talking about since they translated it correctly based on its actual meaning. Its not a literal translation. They are not going to call it "tank hunter". "Armor destroyer" is absolutely appropriate and sounds much better to British ears. Grüße aus dem Rheinland.
Yesn't... "Jäger" traditionally in the German military refers to a light Infantry unit. Almost similar to the Spanish and Portuguese "Cazadores" they had a while back. I think it's more useful to translate the purpose of the unit rather than just the name. What also ticks my german autism is when English speakers refer to anything as "Jägers". Jäger is already both singular and plural, the 's' is redundant and sounds awful.

NATO needs to be increasing standardization of weapons manufacture and ammunition throughout the whole of NATO! As well as increasing production of weapons!
Weapons are not standardized, as procurement is the competency of the state and the british army has different requirements than for example the greece army. Ammo is mostly standardized though. You have 155mm shells for artillery, 5.56mm, 7.62mm and .50BMG for rifles, carbines, snipers and machineguns, 9x19mm for small arms... I am sure there are many more calibres, but most NATO countries can and will share ammo when working together. In terms of production of weapons: What do weapons do if there is no ammo? We first need to push up ammunition production.
I was a littel confused about the name "Panzerjäger" because it was a branch of troops which was dismissed in 2006. But there are still "Panzervernichtungtstrupps" in the companys of the infantry.

And they still refuse to align with the rest of the EU and Nato on some issues
Anglo-Saxons uniting with Saxons - what a force!
A good exercise, stay strong and stay together in this strange world
The German officer being very polite about the SA80, and the Brits realised just how poor it really is.
The A1 and A2 were very poor, the latter being slightly better. The A3 is a very reliable and extremely accurate weapon, not "poor" in the slightest. Of course they're going to struggle to use it because they haven't used it before or trained with it being a bullpup makes it a whole new level.
@@TheTwoFingeredBullFrog a2 was very reliable but ergonomically it's a nightmare lol
great we are fighting together and not against each other! It should always have been that way
Great two see Germans and British troops exercising together!
*The teams have been auto-balanced*
even the lawn on the shooting range looks great - Resprect from Germany 🙂
Germans were actually using the British General Purpose Machine Gun, GPMG, not the Light Machine Gun, LMG
always the perfect match english (brits) and their cousins the germans.......👌👍
Are we to assume we lost the shooting competition or did I miss it?
🇩🇪🇩🇪🇬🇧🇬🇧
When u use MG42 as British and remember ur grandpa in front of Germans 😂
01:24 he looks happy
Glad you changed the title. The original was disparaging.
What was the original title?
Who won the shooting comp?
ein tag zum lernen ist ein guter tag für alle
ahh the SA80, named the Civil servant because it never works and cant be fired.
Well, these two alliances do have a sense of good quality in weapons and leaves, particularly one would suggest just by looking at it. Your Iris will tell the difference.
That comparison is kinda unfair. They should’ve put SA80A3 against G36A3, not zzz the old one with the carrying handle
Was! Unsere guten Goldrandteller-Waffen wollen sie ausprobieren! 😲
Also.. according to internet meme law: "Hans! get zeh flammenwerfer!" .jpeg
The Germans were using British GPMG not LMG as stated.
Wheres the buzz saw?
What was the result of the shooting competition?
Although I do wanna add that the german army is replacing their standard G36 assault rifles with the HK416. 116.000 of wich have been ordered in 2022 and a further 80.000 are set to be ordered in 2025.
Have we not replaced the sa80?
It’s not Tank Destroyer…. It’s Tank Hunter…. Jäeger means hunter.
UK should buy the Weasel great machine
It's a machine gun!!!!!!!
'Germans troops try Belgium weapons'
The poor Germans, having the misfortune of shooting the L85
They can put out a 'wilting' rate of fire.
Panzerjäger = Tank Hunter. Not Tank destroyer
1:47 I thought the German Wiesel replaced the TOW missile system for the MELLS missile system.
not on all Wiesels this change has been made yet, and it probably will takes some more years still till all of them have the MELLS system
MELLS is still relatively new and will take some time to fully replace TOW ... this panzerjager have more training with the TOW system.
@@abs3050 Cheers for the info mate.
@@SayakMajumder Cheers for the info mate.
@@SayakMajumder I think it's an older video, this snippet. Both airborne regiments use the Spike system (''MELLS'') and completely phased out the TOW system since last year.
0:30 so Gucci
Soldier: Yo Great-Grandpa We worked with the Germans today
Great-Grandpa: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I guess the Germans better count if all MG 5 have been returned judging on the smile of the soldiers face talking about it 😉
What kind of ATGM do German paras have? Besides the mounted TOW (?) on the Wiesel. Only the Panzerfaust 3, or have they gotten something more modern and similar to Javelin now?
Leichtes Wirkmittel 1800+ will be the new German shoulder mounted fire and forget anti tank weapon
TOW Wiesels are being refitted to MELLS now (SPIKE-LR 2).
I love that Germany and the UK have become such close allies, it gives me hope that people can move on from the past, I've always had a huge respect and admiration for the German people.
SA80... it's called the L85, why does no one, especially the ones using them, know its name.
