Abstract
The above question has been raised in the present European conflict, particularly in connection with the use of parachute troops. At the time of the German invasion of France and the Low Countries, many of the German parachute troops who landed behind the Allied lines in those countries and there proceeded to destroy important military objectives or to seize and hold them until joined by reinforcements, allegedly wore Belgian or Netherland uniforms.Keywords
