I believe their was also an account when a stuka coming in for an emergency landing, just behind enemy lines, a Artillery round exploded just underneath the plane, causing it to crash. Later on they found out that the only working artillery gun on that moment was a Soviet 122MM M1931/37

And here is the succesor to that model=

This picture captures the moment the First Cavalry Division linked up with the Marines on the outskirts of Khe Sanh, lifting the siege of Khe Sanh.

German paratroopers in Afghanistan. Must´ve been one of the pretty early contingents, because they still wear woodland pattern Flecktarn uniforms and the fella on the right wears the British "Bristol" body armour, still in DPM camo patter.
If you get the joke and think it´s funny btw, you have a very dirty mind, which is good! ^^

Pic from my basic training. We had a 3-day "EAKK"-training where we spent the time patrolling our operational area, looking for IEDs, UXOs, talking to "locals", guarding the checkpoint to our companies camp and patrolling the camp all with not much sleep and extremely hot temperatures. That was especially a pain in the you-know-where as we had to wear flak jackets when outside the camp...I drank so much but yet didn´t have to urinate because I sweated all the water our out. Atleast we slept in old ammo bunkers  where it was pretty cool inside.
This scene shows the 3rd squad of my plattoon maning the checkpoint. We often had scenarios where we had to search cars or individuals for weapons and explosives or got shot at and had to react. On our first patroll outside the base I nearly triggered an IED but fortunately the guy behind me saw the thin wire and so we were able to call the EOD guys and they could "disarm" it (a squad from another platoon actually triggered it which caused a small explosion. Of course they´re DIs werent happy at all ^^). The checkpoint (only a small part here) was quite complex and had a lane where we searched cars, alert posts with machine guns etc.



The whole training was pretty cool because it actually had a practical use especially with todays "peace-keeping" missions like in Kosovo or Afghanistan (although especially the Kunduz area develops more and more into a battlefield nowadays).

I think you already posted that Pic, or atleast you posted one just like that pic.
