As an Italian infantryman (sort of), I'd like to know how many of us listmembers
had to wear a uniform (or still wear it). Could it be that military experiences
(however short) contribute to make one a Jungerite? Though I had no combat
experience and worked as a typist, my one-year military experience helped me to
grasp quite quickly the basic ideas in Der Arbeiter.
