The current German army would be more equitable to a small peace corps unit that would have trouble fighting a boy scout troop. They have 60k total troops and would be lucky to field 2 divisions.

It’s always a little creepy to see the joy and gusto in the posts involving the German military, and the nostalgia for the Nazi formations. On a conservative site. Nothing conservative about Nazis. It would be like seeing pride in the NKVD, in the Kymer Rouge, or in Mao’s PRC military.

I don’t get it.

In other words, their entire army is less than 1/4 the size of the one that marched into Stalingrad. On top of that, these ain't your grandpa's Germans. The postwar generations have been thoroughly pacified.
