Germany sends in the Panzers NATO COMMANDERS were said to have been horrified at the weekend when German Leopard tanks moved into Macedonia from Kosovo. The Leopard "panzers" were sent to protect the German contingent in Task Force Harvest, the NATO arms collection operation, writes Paul Beaver in Skopje "This operation is supposed to be with the consent of the Macedonian government and people," said a senior NATO officer in Skopje, "so why the Germans needed to send tanks is mystery." The German forces are under the command of the French contingent and will be deployed on arms collection after the Macedonian parliament votes for the peace agreement. A NATO spokesman told The Scotsman that the tanks would be used for escorting arms that had been collected. Convoys take the weapons to a military training area at Krivolak for disposal. "You have to ask what sort of military mind thinks of sending tanks to a simple arms collection operation," he added. German troops arrived late for the mission because a constitution ruling was required. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
