Spot what's "wrong"

German Infantry (possibly 352nd) in Normandy.

It appears like his helmet cover was cut from a US camouflaged parachute canopy.

 

[General Naga]

Is it my imagination or is he wearing spurs?

[Sir Apple]

Features like USB accessibility.

Oh ok. The skinny fore-end threw me off.

 

[Nevetos]

Motorcycles. Just as good as Bicycles.

 

[General Naga]

Motorcycles. Just as good as Bicycles.
