    This video is a great example for the totally incorrect use of music.
    The accordeon is a) too loud, b) comes in totally random . Therefore it is just annoying to the extent that it totally spoilt a video that is actully quite good.
    Please edit and change that.

      Now, the real question is: why were humvees sent on the front lines? :)

    Where they not in North Africa tasked with taking on any LRDG and SAS units they might happen across as they could overmatch them with that armour and armament much in the same way that the heavily armed Italian Saharianas did even though hey lacked the armour of this machine.

      Wehrmacht never was "nazi" to be a "Nazi" you must be a part of the NSDAP. (a political party) the Wehrmacht was the German Army.bevor and while ww2. the SS was the Army from the NSDAP.
      its a bit more complex but if you make some research you will find it out ;)

      Gus Goose at least I don’t glorify or go about wearing the uniform of a regime and people that were responsible for the deaths of millions of people. The Nazi war machine caused incalculable and unimaginable suffering during The Second World War and why anyone would want to “reenact” anything to do with it is beyond me. Those people are ignorant and clueless, but that’s okay, let them have their fun. Sick.
