Unpleasant incident between German soldiers and Serbian reporters

Upon arrival an unpleasant incident occurred involving reporters who were strictly prohibited from entering the monastery. When asked whose decision this was and who was the officer preventing the reporters from doing their job, they received an answer: It's none of your business and you will get no information. When the reporters insisted, a German soldier (on the photograph) spat on a woman reporter from TV Most, Mirjana Nedeljkovic, and then physically attacked Zivojin Rakocevic, the editor of Glas Juga (the Voice of the South). Thanks to the presence of mind of Abbot Herman, who promptly intervened with a senior German officer, the incident ended without consequences (report based on the testimony of Glas Juga and KIM Radio journalists)

The German soldier has no chin. There's only about a 1/2 inch of chin length and it bulges, like his stomach.

The German officer refused to disclose his name.

Hence the photograph.

Glas Juga? That's quite a name. Does he know Tin Canna?

Ok, ok, this is my poor attempt at humor, but really, I couldn't resist.

"Glas Juga and KIM Radio journalists"

It's the name of a media outlet, not a person. They are mentioning journalists from two outlets: 1) Glas Juga & 2) KIM Radio

Hey, I liked it. But I will refrain from any additions.

He looks just like Sargeant Rock. A nice hard chiseled body from doing thousands of pushups and situps with miles of trail running in combat boots.

If he is a typical German soldier...

Must have been some fight. Look what a wreck they made of the place.

"A sunken chest, a beer belly and spittle will always strike fear into the hearts of your enemy."..........

(I can't recall the exact chapter, section and paragraph but that dictum is somewhere in Clausewitz.)

The kraut looks like he's been in one helluva paint ball fight.
