It's nice to see my old barracks again after all these years. I was there in Mittenwald too, although not with the high mountain hunters or here so called mountain guides. It's a really good military base and it's beautiful there, in the middle of the mountains and the base has a very old and interesting history too.
If I noticed correctly the commanding officer of the course/school is both qualified as a Fallschirmjäger and Gebirgsjäger. I salute you. - - - - For the candidates who were not selected; you gave it your all. You never quit. That speaks volumes as to the warriors you are. I commend you all. Remember; surrender is not a Ranger word. Drive on; complete the mission though you be the lone survivor.
A friend of mine was in the 10th Special Forces, stationed in Germany in the early 1980s. He declined to carry "special weapons" (tactical nikes) so he asked to be attached to the German Army Mountain Guide unit. The following year he volunteered to join the Austrian Mountain troops (quietly, B/C Austria was "neutral" and not NATO). At 65 he is still an excellent t skier and has a lot of stamina. He said German and Austrian mountain troops could cover in one day the terrain that it took his Green Berets THREE days to cover
Bit of a shame that after all this effort they need a nanny to go with them if they ever go on a real mission - to quote "The Bundeswehr’s actions in Afghanistan have been limited by a number of clauses which have been negotiated as part of ISAF concerning the participation in combat operations and restrictive regulations concerning the security of the units." A very polite way of putting it.

Cool, I've canoed the Mittenwald, well parts of it anyway. I wrote a thesis one year for the AMI on how many Mountaineering centres and lodges we had lost in the British Military along of course with local civilian jobs... Criminal..!
@leisureenjoyer1986 no I'm afraid it's not and I'm pretty sure I haven't even got a copy tbh. I'm not even sure if the AMI ever published it. I could make you a list off the top of my head if you wish but I can reiterate that the AT system within the UK Military was the envy of some other countries? But I suppose change is always inevitable...
@leisureenjoyer1986 no not quite, Adventure Training...The British Military had a Selection, Training and Qualifying procedure for both Adventure training and Outdoor Activity Instructors, with Senior and Chief Instructor positions and most if not all entered National civilian accredited programmes for Kayaking, Mountaineering and all adventure training sports to complement military service delivered qualifications. Long list to write, but I'm certainly happy to list mine if it helps...
Unsere Heeresbergführer sind wirklich geil. Hab die 2011 in Midenwald kennengelernt. Kopfüber , im Seil hängend oder beim Versuch dran zu bleiben im schweren Gelände. No way.... Glück ab San voran
Seeing as there's a bit of favouritism for specific country units, the Indian Army has a lot of experience on the Himalayas and have held Siachen for nearly 40 years now. Pitched battles have been recorded as high as 21,000 ft+. Units like our Para SF and the lesser known elite SFF have distinguished themselves.
More training and practice seems necessary. Once they’ve pushed themselves to the limit to run up the mountain what use will they be when they get there?
Well, let's just say that the civilian vs military mountaineering equipment part seems bullshit to me. If you look closely you can surely notice the same brands we have access to as civilians.
@alvarosolares226 since this is the tenth time I hear this, I believe you and it sure makes sense. I mean yeah, cutting edges and buying or manufacturing cheap stuff can always be messy. Good thing on the other hand that in this documentary they have quite nice stuff. Maybe this should give hope for people who serve. 🤣
This is likely a standards and safety mechanism to ensure that everyone is using the same gear, and it is all uniformly inspected and of the same age. Yes, some civy gear is going to be newer and perhaps more expensive.
Imagine comparing mountain infantry to special forces, for this you have to compair the German KSK but different question how are the Polish trained Ukrainians doing? looks like running away deserting out of trenches is a Polish tradition since 1939, including getting oblitirated by Russian artillery.
You may call it "amateurish, civilians" or whatever... But in battles in the Caucasus the elite 4. Gebirgs-Division of Wehrmacht and Edelweiss SS Division were destroyed by the Red Army, which was mainly formed from yesterday's civilians... So training civilians matters.
@hm_stg there was no Ukraine nor Russia at the moment. It was USSR, to be correct. And I mentioned only Caucasus, where they finally were also beaten. But yes, the topic is complicated and the discussions may be endless..
The Red Army simply overwhelmed the Germans with massive numbers of bodies, equipt by the commie supporting 'allies'. Also, the 'allies' were attacking on different fronts. Globalist Bankers won WW ll and Western civilization lost.
Seriously? No muscles, no definition, looking like amateur climbers who just started last week. If this is the standard I don't see how the German army can ever endure against much better trained and physical specimen enemies. The German army's fall since 1945 has been very very steep!!
@maoh1772 different branches of uksf, not all upto commandoes standard, look up mountain leaders course for UK commando forces, I'm not really being disrespectful to these lads, I'm just taking the piss because it's what we do for a laugh, I thought the Germans had a sense of humour. .........,oh sorry I forgot, you don't.🤣
Completely different troop units that you mention here. These are mountain guides of the normal mountain troops (Gebirgsjäger) and you come up with British special forces training. It's not for nothing that the British often come to Austria and Germany because they don't have any mountains themselves
What's Army About Hiking. If Your 10k Feet Above Any Other People.. Like Flying a Nuclear Equipment Jet Above a Major City Center. Y'all are Just Playing Dress Up with LIFE playing "Army" whilst Hiking.. CLASSIC
They are just training in these altitudes and terrain..In India every soldiers must complete a grueling 1 year high altitude warfare training in kashmir and siachen battle school in HAWS the best high altitude warfare school on earth .Indian army mountain divisions are constantly in combat . surveillance.patrol and fighting constantly deployed at altitudes from 15000 feet to 21000 feet ..as 80% of hostile borders with Pakistan and china are in these dangerous inhospitable remote terrains of Himalayas..The kargil 60 days war in 1999 was fought in altitudes minimum 14000 feet . temperatures dropping to minus 60 degrees.. kudos to see european soldiers training in above 5000 metres..
There's a difference between fighting in high altitude and being an army mountain guide. The latter is just far more technical and requires far more knowledge

Grillhosl had 44 years experience.
Either he is 66 years old or was born leader.
I love mountaineering wish I’d done this in my youth
Good to see

Im curious the alpine soldiers during WW2 did they share the same standards as present day soldiers??
Must be incredible.
Have you ever heard of the Rangers of the 4th Alpine Parachute Regiment? 🇮🇹
good morning. happy Christmas and happy new year 2025. in Europe I do not find there are mountains of 5000 meters high. greetings from Milan 🇮🇹
Video plays like a survivor episode
Why was a candidate allowed to continue when aforementioned candidate could not pass the first part of the assessment?
Is there a 2nd part. Or was that it?

This is part 1 if you read the discription
There are a total of 4 parts so this is 1/4. The whole documentary is over 3 hours long

Looks like a tough school. Im sure all the Operators in the comments will chime in 😂
Darn tootin'. Just gotta finish off a gruelling keyboard patrol, then I'll be on parade!

Absolutely.See theatre at the Indian Army's HAWS
Pajet soldiers are the worst of the worst because they poop everywhere
Not everyone can make it to the unit. It's normal.
no tq....😂😂
The entry qualification sound like Sherpa jobs... 😂
Are the French and foreign legions still in command of Germany?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
28:13 You're fired cuz you can't ride an avalanche. No wonder this unit is so elite.

Been trsining since was 8 beat every bloke in class .

In US when you have to use some things with "military grade" you have to worry about... 🤣

German army has strict budgeting and most of the equipment has more than just one use
This is likely a standards and safety mechanism to ensure that everyone is using the same gear, and it is all uniformly inspected and of the same age.
Yes, some civy gear is going to be newer and perhaps more expensive.
Imagine they’d have a rifle that hits its target
"That's German, ain't it? You all like climbing mountains, don't you?" - This should be their motto plastered all over their walls.
"Just came back from deployment in Afghanistan" - When was this thing filmed?
Achtung ! Send in Lt. Shaeffer (aka Clint Eastwood), aka Rowdy Yates, aka Dirty Harry
“Just a dude, dressed as a dude playing another dude”.🤣🤣🤣
This is from 30 years ago.....welt !
Germans dont cry- look what Polish Grom can do in Mountains- all of them

Way deeper topic than doing a 1 to 1. Also Ukraine and the piece of Russia where they fought is mostly flat

Indian High Alt Warfare School at Gulmarg,is equally good and have addl difficulty of high altitude
Calling anything indian good is laughable
Learn from USA rangers boys.

British commandos start operations at 5001mtrs. Get a grip jerry.🤣
😂😂 true mate. These jerrys are useless
Ok try to remember we are on the same team;
Hence the two british SF guys as pupils going through this course? Wonder what they said receiving the coveted mountain leader badge.
