Cool picture eh! I can’t help but wonder how much each intercept missle costs the Israelis.
Looks like some thing from a sci-fi anime.

A German soldier in position in the Arnheim suburb of Oosterbeek. The soldier is armed with a Mauser 98k rifle with a muzzle grenade launcher and Stielhandgranate 24 hand grenades.
It would appear that this may be the second lad to hold the position judging from the fact there appears to be a potato masher laying beside
him that had a premature discharge at the same location.

Private James Allen Hendrix, 101st Airborne.
The norm in the Gulf war, that's also why the Israelis bombed the AP building in Gaza. Of course, being humanitarian, they gave them an hours notice.

Swords into plowshares.
After the war, Willy et al were forbidden from making aircraft for a time, Willy ended up doing two years for using slave labour during the war. The company survived by making premanufactured buildings, weird little microcars, and sewing machines.
When he got back in the business he designed aircraft for other countries. His last was the Helwan HA-300, a design he did for Egypt.
A model:
Much sleeker than the sewing machine.

Krupp and Thyssen are still around, building elevators among other things. I chuckle every time I ride in one.
