Which reminds me, many, many years ago, and from this perspective not that long after NATO was formed, one Ian Topping was serving at a NATO HQ in Schleswig Holstein during an exercise.
An air raid warning was sounded and the senior Luftwaffe officer duly donned his coal-scuttle while Ian continued to wear his SD Hat (one did in those days).
"Vhy do you British not wear zee helmet?"
"We have thick skulls which is why we won the war."
