You know you like German Army stuff way to much if: You have a splinter pattern shower curtain or bed sheet. You wear an M36 tunic to prom, because you think its sexy. You pack your web gear when you go to the beach. You wear a crusher cap when playing baseball. You sew a cuff title on your jacket. When the teacher takes attendance at school, you click your heels when she calls your name. You wear a panzer wrap as a dinner jacket. You put a coat of zimmerat(spelling?) on your car. When you get pulled over for speeding you show the police your soldbuch as identification. If anyone can think of more please post them.
I was on guard duty once when two officers walked past. When i slauted, i put my hand to my head German style in stead of British. That went down well.
Ha ha haaaa, thanks for the great laugh. Ill kinda repeat one I had from sometime ago. "You know you like German Army stuff too much if" When you go to an IHOP for breakfast-you place an order for Pancakes and eggs over easy--but insted of saying you want eggs over easy--you say: "M'seur, I want the Country Breakfast which has 3 Pancakes and 3 German Crosses in Gold" Yeahhhh, I knowwwww--keep my day job. Bada boom bada bing.
Bish - I can imagine!! The German salute is relatively easy to learn, but we had this one guy who just didn't get it and saluted once with thumb to his temple, palm straight forward and fingers spread in all directions.
HAHA, nice one Andreas, I can also recall that in my time in the military, we had a guy salute with his left hand once while reporting to the company commander. I swear, that our Herr Kapitaenleutnant looked as if he had just been hit by a freight train.
DANG! I always found my Panzer wrap dinner jacket, splinter curtains, and my waffen ss baseball crusher cap normal.
If for your eulogy, you ask the gathering to sing Ich hatt' einen Kameraden. You play Lili Marleen at 10 PM CEST sharp everyday. (this one might be hard to understand )
