Does the Bundeswehr carry on any traditions of the Wehrmacht?

Officially the Wehrmacht is not part of the traditions of the Bundeswehr.
The Bundeswehr's lines of tradition are:
>The Prussian military reforms
>The civil-military resistance of the 20.Juli 1944
>The Bundeswehr's own history

But you can't stop Germans from being German, and in reality most soldiers had their granddads or great-granddads fight in the Wehrmacht which results in a lot of memorabilia lying around in most barracks. Also the most infantry tactics of today are inherited from the Wehrmacht, but I never heard anyone call the MG Hitlersäge, but the Africa palm tree is still used in the Bundeswehr as an official unit symbol and tactical symbol.

Pretty sure it would have been American soldiers calling it Hitler's buzzsaw, not da ebil nazy troops

You're right, and it was probably a reverse adoption. I met the signaler at the uni pub.

Does the chain just turn a blind eye to this?

>>34147986
>giving rise to the nickname "Hitler's buzzsaw" (and the German soldiers' Hitlersäge ("Hitler's saw" or "buzzsaw").

>This gun [15] (like the MG 34) was sometimes called "Spandau" by British troops, a traditional generic term for all German machine guns

>Die deutschen Soldaten gaben dem MG 42 Spitznamen wie „Hitlersäge“, „Singende Säge“ oder auch „Knochensäge“. Öfter ist auch die Bezeichnung „Hitlersense“ zu finden, die sich aufgrund der Ähnlichkeiten zwischen der angewendeten Schusstechnik der MG-Schützen und der schwingenden Bewegung des Erntewerkzeuges bei seiner Benutzung ergibt. Weiterhin kursierte in Anlehnung an die „Stalinorgel“ auch der Begriff „Hitlergeige“.

>Hitlersaw
>Singing Saw
>Bone Saw
>Hitler Scythe
>Hitlerfiddle

Yes, we do and it's somewhat a running gag since von der Leyen told us we all lack of posture and leadership

There was a purge of Nazi memorabilia from German army barracks recently.

>>34147779
The Bundeswehr is one of the most NATO-fied armies in the world, they are modeled more after the US army than anything else.

>>34148119
How does the Bundeswehr feel about von der Leyen?

The Fallschirmjager still have some hard dudes, can't speak for the rest of them, though.

>>34148294
Everyone hates her.

Wait, so it's just like hanging on the walls? Why do people hate von der leyen?

>>34147779
A large percentage isn´t even of german heritage anymore.

>>34148351
>Why do people hate von der leyen?
Because instead of spending money on fixing all the equipment etc that's broken due to budget decrease after budget decrease, she invests money in bullshit like making the Bundeswehr more family and women-friendly. And since they are bureaucrafying the Bundeswehr like mad they now have to increase the amount of pencil pushers at our ministery of defence by 50% from 5000 to 7500 people (again, instead of actually spending it on useful shit)

When she became MoD no one liked her, but she did some good things for us and until recent most soldiers(high ranks more than lower ranks) were okay with her until she called us pervert sex nazis

Yes

In the light of the recent happenings and the negative press for the Bundeswehr she made it very easy for herself and instead of taking at least a part of the fault she she said it's only the officers fault and that all soldiers are probably nazis
>>34148416
this, one of the best enlisted I had were Russian-Germans

>>34148416
Ethnicity and nationality are the same in Europe.

What happened?

>>34148524
Senior Lieutenant went to two refugee camps and showed how easy it is to get gibs and and he also hid a pistol at Vienna airport. When it came out she said he planned a racist terror attack. All that resulted in a discussion about right tendencies in the Bundeswehr and the connections with the Wehrmacht. Von der Leyen said a lot of stupid things which even got some lefties siding with the Bundeswehr.
The result was >>34148251, besides that when she visited the barracks where said Lieutenant was stationed they still had some Stahlhelme and MP40s laying around.

>>34148466
Don't expect niggers on /k/ to understand the concept of ethnic nationality.

>>34148602
>Stahlhelme and MP40s laying around
Considering both were your fucking standard equipment after WWII when the Bundeswehr was in it's infancy, I don't see how this is a bad deal.

Even your fire services have the old "nazi helmets" which makes them look hilarious.

>>34151622
No, the Bundeswehr never used MP40s, only Tommy guns, and as for the Stahlhelme, yes F130 firefighter helmets have the same shape but that's not the point.

Kinda, we get the MG4 as a LMG in 556 and maybe the MG5 as a new GPMG because the MG3s we have are fucking old, some of the bodies are still WW2 and even the newest are 40 years old so the Bw is starting to look for a successor.

They have to get more because the Bundeswehr is getting massively scammed by defense corporations when ordering stuff. The contracts are massive and convoluted and the MoD doesn't have enough people(i.e. lawyers) to check them thoroughly, so they are getting ripped off left and right

In Denmark the mg3 is called "nazismen" or the nazi Saw.
