Country:  | Maybe he just woke up and grabbed some poor cooks uniform pants and his hat and rifle to defend his street corner????
We will never know guys, and thats the thing about combat.... Unless ur there breathing in the cordite and feeling the concussions in ur chest, all u can do here is fantatize...
What if this??? What if that???? I looks real and the individuals actions looks as real as they would be under the situation: Pure alarm and fear....
Another thing to cloesly look at is what the paratoorper is throwing out... It aint no rock, and by the looks of it, has a fuse attached.... Why would he throw a rock when his weapon is in his hand???
Like I said, we werent there...

Country:  | Oh I agree, I am not saying it is fake or not. The uniform just does not look right.

This makes me think that it is real combat footage and British guy has thrown a grenade (or some kind of explosive) at the German which has seen been edited over with the piece of bread.

Country: | No... I would rather say the shirt's tag or something like that. It looks rather rectangular.
However, something else doesn't look right. I'm not an expert in uniforms, but the British soldier looks like having a "classical" Mk. II helmett. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think airborne units had different helmets... More like the US troops, no ? | |
