German soldiers mistakenly issued uniforms with ‘SS’ labels​

German soldiers have been ordered to rip the labels on their uniforms off after they were mistakenly issued ones marked with the unfortunate initials “SS.”

The ministry recently distributed about 313,000 uniforms, helmets, sleeping bags, trousers and jackets to the troops at a cost of $2.4 billion (2.3 billion euros), the Times of London reported.

Most of the uniforms were labeled as S, M, L or XL, as is the norm in English.

But the most diminutive soldiers received jackets bearing “SS,” apparently for “small, short” — though the initials are also associated with the notorious Nazi paramilitary organization Schutzstaffel from the days of the Third Reich.

Smartest Yuan Dynasty/Qing Dynasty simp be like:
Not really. The Yuan and Qing all viewed themselves as the proper heirs of the Chinese civilization. Even the Ming recognized the Yuan as their predecessor. Their literary, territorial, and cultural contributions were huge, particularly the ones from the Qing. Plus that user’s own ancestors truly got dominated by foreigners as you can tell from his name. I guarantee you that he can’t even read Mongolian scripts while Chinese Inner Mongolians can. The user is projecting his inferiority complex onto others.
