      Yes especially in the Italian theater but wool was chosen because of the Central European climate. More common in Italy and some in Russia; they used HBT feldbluses

    They rolled up their sleeves in order to roll up their sleeves, because it was preferred to roll up their sleeves, and rolling up their sleeves meant that their sleeves were rolled up. Therefore, they rolled their sleeves up.

      I'm not sure what part you didn't understand so I'm just going to explain all of it.
      The uniforms where made of wool, not cotton.
      Wool is warmer than cotton, a lot warmer.
      Rolling sleeves up is a common way to cool down.
      The creator only mentioned the first fact and not the second two, because most people know that already.

      It's just a cultural thing imo.
      In German if we have to get our hands dirty we call that "die Ärmel hochkrempeln" (rolling up the sleeve's). It's just easier to do hard work when you roll up the sleeves first, especially in hot weather.
      Also I doubt that other armies didn't do it.

Did you know that the reason Nazi's wore ribbons on their uniforms is because they have pins? Basically the way he said it.

Perhaps the politicians of the US would be more diplomatic, but being nuked isn't exactly extending an olive branch.
