Hogan's Heroes? The German forces

Hogan's Heroes?

The German forces bound for Kabul are having a bit of trouble getting their act together.

According to Klaus-Dieter Frankenberger of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:

Anybody looking for reasons why the United States prefers to rely on its own forces (and those of its model British ally) will find plenty of them in the journey that an advance unit of the German armed forces has taken to Afghanistan....Germany wants to assume responsibility in the world, but it will certainly not be taken seriously as a country by behaving like this. Instead, it will be an object of derision. It is hardly surprising if Washington generally regards European announcements of imminent plans to set up this or that military project with wry skepticism.
