Provocative poses like this are for amateurs, infantry and sprogs, but definitely NOT for professionals.
I bet,
the B.E.F of 1939,
the Russians up to 1942,
the French army of 1939,
the Polish army of 1939 and many other fighting forces in the early days of WW2 had similar feelings but soon learnt the lesson`s of complacentcy, in recognising the true professonalism of the German army.
