This looks creepy, awesome, and uncomfortable all at the same time:
I have no idea what type of beer, gas mask, or camouflage that is, so I have no idea what country these guys are from.
Anyone know?
I wonder if he plugged his nose with something before donning the mask? Getting beer up your nose has gotta be painful. :P

The DPM … and the beer bottle look very german. Just a guess.
Yes indeed, the camo appears to be flecktarn so they are German, which comes as no surprise.
ah ok cool… I was thinking that beer in the background looked like a becks too.. so that would make sense.
Yes, German Flecktarn. I guess Germans can breathe beer.
Yes, we can ;-)
Its the uniform of the german armed forces, “Flecktarn” is the rigth word for the camouflage. The beer in the front is a “Oettinger” (http://www.oettinger-bier.de/frame2.htm), popular bear in german, its cheap and disgusting. They are using a “ABC-Schutzmaske”(M 65 Z), basically a gas mask. The filter was opened and used as some kind of funnel. The beer in the background is a “Becks” (http://www.becks.de/)
And btw, beer inside your nose isnt the only thing painful in the srmy ;-)
Nice! thanks for the info.
Damn someone beat me to it. That is the #1 selling beer in Germany. I prefer Paulaner myself though.
So am I the only one who wondered whether or not that guy was tied to a chair and the drinking involuntary? Well, I blame Joseph Wambaugh. I’m sure his book Lines and Shadows was where I read about the Mexican federales using bubble up to get confessions from people.
haha that’s not a bad idea. You’d probably get some ridiculous stories most of the time once the people you were trying to interrogate had a bit too much.
When I went thru S.E.R.E. School at Warner Springs, why wasnt this the sort of water boarding I had to endure? :(
ahhh can you imagine feeling like your drowning in beer. I’m not going to try it, but I still think it would be painful to get in your eyes and nose.
Gotta love post-WWII Germans. i.e., not the Nazis.
Visen of any sorts is the only choice for German beer I was stationed there for 6 1/2 yrs. and i miss the beer lol
