Problem with German forces is that politically they don't have a lot of support from the German government. In Afghanistan, Norwegian special forces on several occations had to step in and take over missions, because politically Germany struggles with it's nazi past and it's politicians don't really want to get their soldiers into combat. Germany's soldiers are restrained that way. Very good soldiers, but held back by history.

You are point on with your description but the winds are definitly changing in the aftermath of the war in eastern europe. Its a little scary feeling the mindset shift after growing up in a very pacifist society my whole life. Lets hope peace eventually prevails

[@worm5797]

The Germans never called the 20 Years in Afghanistan a "War", it was always just a "Peace- or Stabilization Mission" in the politicians' Mouths, which is why there were no Leopard Battle Tanks. With the war in Ukraine, the View and Respect of the Military by political Eyes is slowly changing.

I have watched another vid about an US-Marine reacting to KSK Hell Week. He said the most astonishing thing was, that everbody was kinda quiet. No shouting at the trainees, no motivational Drill Sergants standing by just the KSK Instructors walking aside the trainees and giving them bold instructions. Its a psychological and physiological challenge cause you never know when its over until its over. Also the german forces especially the special forces are held back by political idiocy cause of the fear of Germanys historical role since WW2...

[@mrx2062]

It is not a German army philosophy to shout at recruits unnecessarily.

[@Muschelschubs3r]

In the US, tey go for extrinsic motivation - the drill sergeant/instructor shouting abuse like there is no tomorrow. In Germany, they want people who are motivated instrinsically. If you need somebody to scream at you, you don't have the right stuff.

[@zahgurim7838]

Well, Ronny's gaze has broken trainees for years. There is no need for unnecessary shouting within the Bundeswehr; it simply is not our way of doing things.

[@thodan467]

we forbid screaming at soldiers for longer than the US MC exists

[@PuddingXXL]

Well the dislike of the KSK specifically had to do with the swuad leads who hoarded amunition with one planning to pretend to be a syrian refugee and commit terror attacks to start a european "race war". Historically they obviously are more conscious about their behaviour but there also has been a real problem of anti-democratic people joining special forces.

[@amoredfist]

one thing to keep in mind, ksk is a tier 1 unit. so not like green berets or seals except from team 6/ devrgu. ksk is on the level of SAS, Delta force, devrgu..

I was in the federal armed forces (german army), i saw active KSK soldiers. It is crazy how fit they are, In the middle of summer I saw someone running around with 25-30 kg of equipment for training, he was faster than me without luggage and equipment, I wasn't unathletic at the time. After the procedure, there are still 3 years of training, which continues with these training courses.

No one not even their wifes will be telled what they are doing or where they are on mission their Missions are Top Secret and talking about is Forbidden for them forever. and when these guys are coming for you you are really in Trouble.

[@Schokelmei]

The old training in the KSK was basically a mix of what Germany learned from the SAS (with which they trained a lot in the beginning) and the advanced infantry training of the Bundeswehr the so called Jagdkampf (Defence in depth) and Einzelkämpferlehrgang (the old "German commando course) which was the requirement for Fallschirmjäger (Paratroopers), Gebirgsjäger (Mountaineers) Jäger (similar skill set as Rangers) and Panzergrenadier (Armoured Infantry units) units and added lessons from the Fernspäher (Long Range Recon) and Kampfschwimmer (German Commando Frogmen) units. All those types of experience went into the qualification and later KSK training course. That was 1996 and 90% of the first KSK soldiers came from above mentioned units. Meanwhile the Bundeswehr changed a lot of that and the KSK is a bit more specialized inside while the old units are now running under the name "EGB Forces (Specialized Army Forces with Expanded Capabilities)" The "Defence in Depth" and "German Commando Course I (and II)" are still necessary for NCO and officer ranks and most of the infantry units - and Air Force and Army pilots.

I myself am German and come from a family with a long tradition of military service going back to the Franco-Prussian War. My uncles used to tell me that when they did their mandatory military service, they would still on occasion be hit by superiors in basic or woken up by the loud bang of a metal trash can thrown into the barrack room before morning roll call. It has of course become much more humane and quiet since. Reforms of the past years have even, at least officially, banned the instructors from shouting at recruits and some may percieve this as the military softening up as not to scare away recruits and create a lack of soldiers in an entirely voluntary army without the reliably large amount of draftees every year. But how I believe this short documentary has splendidly shown, the sobriety and calmness of an instructors face with an expression that says "I've been there and done that" allthewhile fairly politely ordering the soldiers to execute feats bordering on cruelty as if it were a walk in the park can psychologically be equally effective and is, at least in my humble opinion, much closer to the German cultural identity. But of course I must agree with the 'old heads' in the sense that new soldiers must be familiarised with a certain degree of agression to properly prepare them for all eventualities of military life, which at last, remains the battlefield.

[@hawkiebaby]

Your uncles got hit by instructors in which army? The Bundeswehr??? The NVA?

[@GainsDorn]

It's good to see that there are more families with such a tradition. I know this tradition of military services in the family, too. We could look back in our family history for about six generations (before this time we couldn't find any records or data), and in every Generation we has someody in duty. I had my 12 years too, and I got the luck to become an Drill Instructor most of the times, also during the time when the model of leading was "renewed". In my opinion it was not bad, because most Instructors already knew that there are times for being loud and times for being calm. It always depends on the situation and what we wanted to bring to the minds of our recruits or experienced comrads. I also can't remember that we had a feeling like a need for constant yelling at any time, like the US-Instructors I knew seemed to have.

[@liamwilson6102]

@@hawkiebaby In the Bundeswehr. Although I must ad, not to cast a false picture, even back then (70s & 80s) this was a controvercial and seldom occurance an also want to emphasize the semantic difference between being hit (which could mean anything from a forceful shuve to a closed-hand punch) and being beat up, only the first of which was told to me through first hand accounts. Unfortunately, unlike the beautifully intricate and complex German language, the english language does not lend itsself to very well.

[@liamwilson6102]

@@GainsDorn I completely agree with your statements. I assume, judging from the last sentence that you are in fact a fellow German who used to be an Ausbilder for basic trainees. In any case, thank you for your service. It seems to me that many Germans with a similar backround to mine exist (purely because military service was mandatory for most of the time after 1871, which most Germans have either some imagination of, or even a personal relationship to) but do not want to or dare to identify with, let alone take up the occupational tradition existing within the family, because unlike in say the US or UK it is not deemed an honroable feat to have been a soldier either in the imperial German Army or the Wehrmacht. Whether the Bundesregierung today is right to condemn the Soldatentum of those eras or not is not really important to me, but it is interesting to think that the Bundeswehr as a whole struggles with a lack of tradition that could aid in finding and maintaining a certain leadership profile that could raise the attractiveness of our army in todays society, which I believe most sensible people would agree is important.

KSK is not just KSK, the test in the video is the general aptitude test. The "KSK" is also divided into forces... e.g. psychological service, command company 1-3, special reconnaissance. what you mean is the direct response team. - whose name is: Special Command Company. The Special Command Company is usually the first and last in the operational area. and the training there looks completely different, and they have some self-determining powers regarding operations that also affect state operations.

The KSK means Komando Spezial Kräfte , Special Force Command its an Force like the Rangers , Green Berrets , Roayal Marine Commandos , SAS and so on.,myself was in the troops from 89-97 as a grenadier 6.PzGrenBtl32 on the anti-tank mortar (dismounted and mounted) and the training was hard, when fighting was dismounted the base plate weighed about 65 kg and the entire equipment of the mortar had to be placed about 800 m into the firing position of 4 Comrades are brought, a hard work for everyone. So the training here is called peanut but even at the KsK it is harder than it seems.I want to ask you as KZbinr , Have you been a soldier yourself to be able to give a correct opinion? Opinions very greatly from civilians. Don't misunderstand. I worked 17 Years for the British Forces Germany in Hameln , 28.EngrRgt.as well and ive seen SAS and Royal Marines talked to them , and they always sayed the Germans work Hard and willing to achieve the training goal, but never alone and always in a group, no matter what type of weapon unit it is.

Well, to be a hell week it seems quite comfortable...I would love to listen to your review of training of French Foreign Legion.

[@wozn7195]

Guess you treat your educated, law abiding citizens willingly serving their county a little different after all ^^

[@fral.2708]

@@wozn7195 Nonetheless very comfortable even in comparison with other armies and above all special units in Europe.

[@wozn7195]

@@fral.2708 It may be ^^ I wonder what else they were doing for that week - Somehow everything in the vid feels more like a really long shitty day

I actually don't think that they are about to kick u at once b/c of the log's value (if u throw it away). I rather believe that they'll kick u after that b/c at that moment u gonna show them that u are not only exhausted, but also kinda done with the whole thing (wich is obviously ok at this point). Whereas a guy that lowers the log carefully to the ground also might be extremely exhausted, but NOT necessarily done tho.

[@olgahein4384]

That's not training, that's just a recruitment test. A practical application test to become a KSK trainee, so to speak.

[@Spelter]

I remember seeing this video, and I'm so glad I did not even try to make it to KSK, I knew that I'm not making it and when I saw the documentation about 1) Pre-Selection 2) Hell-Week and 3) Parts of the whole training - damn you have to fuck your body. Sadly, they are not used in their full capacity. These boys, they could storm Moscow and put Putin into cuffs, but our government is still anxious about the whole WW2 crap and how the world sees us. And btw, there are even outside Soldiers from i.e. Denmark who joined the KSK. You have to check out the other documentaries. THIS year, after so many years AFTER the Cold War stopped, we are officially able to have a real army. Before that, they had to cut the military with man and equipment to an amount of X, because people outside Germany feared, we could build up a real army and invade them again. Putin now made it possible, to finally build a real army again. That is something you have to consider when you hear Trumps idiotic "Germany is not spending 3% into his military" bullshit. We were not allowed to do that. Now on the other hand, we can and have to change the image of our army, so people will join it freely. Putin did that btw. When the red army was in their lowest, end 90s, young boys injured themselves, cut or shot parts of their feet off, just to NOT be drafted. Putin change the image and made it look awesome to join (which, was a great lie btw) and young soldiers stood in lines to join in mid 2000s. We have to do the same. Fuck the Woke crap, why is our Bundeswehr Ad full of Woman and Lesbians, who say "oh the life as a soldier is so nice" - you are soldiers dammit, show your damn war face.

This is really old video material. There are now many newer, more recent videos from official channels.

Hell week = 2 weeks in foundation at Lympstone 😅

Hahaha The German Kapitaen Preise

[@bscorax]

You have to keep in mind, those soldiers are'nt special forces yet. They want to become. This is not the final test of the special forces training, it's the acceptance test. The subtitles are wrong about the food barrel. The speaker says, it's weight is a 'Zentner' - that's 50kg, not 100.

[@user-md8ge5ir1e]

Compare to other Boot Camp there was no shouting, think thats different.

[@benjaminloehner257]

Germans don't need to shout. 😈

[@xasanth6318]

don't worry about the subtitles - I can understand the real deal ;)

[@ReinaSaurus]

just dont ask about the state of logistics in the current german army. its been a nightmare for decades. 😅

[@nicoincognito2160]

That is good, because the current government can't take the responsibility over a single soldier. I never have been there before so unqualified politicians.

As a (non-military) German: I am here to investigate our international reputation and judge reviews. My British brothers, how would you evaluate your performance? Passed or not passed?

[@hajosalz1621]

18:47 in german he says: the barrel weighs "ein zentner" which is 50 kg. But the commentator could be given the wrong number here...

[@domcloud808]

Zentner is referred to as 100, but it also exists as 50kg for weight measurements idk

[@Fischbroetchen2k]

@@domcloud808 It´s easy. A Zentner comes from latin word centum. So it´s basically just a hundred times a base weight. Switzerland and Austria define a Kilogram as base, so a Austrian/Swiss Zentner is 100kg. In Germany a pound (German Pfund = 500g) is set as base weight, so a German Zentner is 50kg.

[@frankgunold268]

18:47 1 Zentner are 50 kg not 100 kg How much does a hundredweight weigh? One hundredweight is 50 kg. In Austria and Switzerland this means 100 kg. However, this unit of weight is no longer so common.08/10/2021

[@cygnos6201]

Though I do not believe that we should be spending so much money on the military, as then they'll all be used anyways to go fight some imperialist war, I can respect their dedication and how strong they are.

[@2tone753]

Would you say that the current and perhaps future international situation speaks against such unity? If you answer this question with yes, I have to tell you that this very procedure, called appeasement, ensured that we Germans thought "now the world belongs to us. We humans are, already determined by genetics, unable to build a world of the Frau Holle brand. We humans are ready to go to war over even a bag of gummy bears. What politicians and other responsible people have done because they thought that world peace had broken out, can be viewed live and in color at the Bundeswehr. Even now, the Stegner dream dancers are still hopping through the landscape and one wonders whether they are completely resistant to learning. I think so, and have been for a long time. Quote: "We humans should live in peace with one another, such training should be obsolete. " is meant nicely but completely ignores the fact that people haven't even reached their best yet. The conflict between Taiwan and China is slowly gaining momentum.

Totally different take from SF ive been a part of. If your not highly motivated and a strength of will ur not going to make.

"Zentner (von lat. centum „hundert“) ist eine alte Gewichtseinheit von in der Regel 100 Basisgewichtseinheiten (meist Pfund, später auch Kilogramm)."

"my foot is swolen" i mean.... in combat u dont have time for such shit... its either death or life.... and thats one of the main reasons of such trainings... to go over ur limits and struggles... bc in combat u wont have the time such stuff i mean like imagine telling a terrorist "yo bro my foot is swolen give me some time" and hed be like "aight! understandable bro!" xD
