Yeah... imagine fresh recruits looking at that and sniggering to each other ... ?

Sure seems odd, I can’t imagine doing it myself but I have OCD about a lot of little things, the way I put on a belt is one of them...

The Vizefeldwebel portrayed was not a fresh recruit , perhaps he was left handed

I meant if fresh recruits looked at a long serving NCO and saw the error ?

funny thing! Well I do have some old cdv's where veterans and soldiers wear their medalbars. Sometime the medals are sorted in a wrong way or the backside is shown to the front. Why ever that happend, but the crown downwards is more a political statement ? (no just kidding) I bet that this poor NCO was mad as hell, when he spotted his error on the photo! Thanks for showing it to us.

Aye... thats the thing... ok in real life, you can change it around.... but once it is on a photo...

I once saw a General walking with the zipper on his trousers open.... as far as I know, noone said anything... I guess no one wanted to be the one walking up to him and saying "Mon General, if you do not close the cage door the little birdie will fly away!"
