Das war schon in meinem Wehrdienst 2006 so wild. Alle aufstellen und in Bauch Boxen lassen zum Ende der Grundausbildung, saufen durch die Gasmasken, random Machtdemonstrationen. Das war Grundausbildung im Wehrdienst als Mann, ich kann nur ahnen wie das (als Frau!) in so einer Einheit ist.

We are very fucked indeed
When viewing the fake article in Google scholar on my university network, there is a link to access the article via my uni's library. That link sends me to a library page that makes fake article appear real... Turns out library page is made programmatically from info on Google scholar 🤦
