US political ad mistakenly shows German troops
The flier's producer said designers did not recognise the re-enactors wore German uniforms
A North Carolina state legislator says he supports the military, but a flyer prepared by his campaign could lead some to question which country's.
Democrat Tim Spear's campaign has apologised after inadvertently sending voters a leaflet showing actors in World War II-era German uniforms.
The firm that produced the advert touting his support for the military has accepted blame, US media reported.
The state Republican Party obtained the flyer and distributed it to the media.
Mike Brown of Washington DC consulting firm MSHC Partners told the Associated Press that designers had not noticed the soldiers portrayed with their backs to the camera were in German uniform.
The flyer read: "In combat, you always want another soldier covering your back."

As an American of very close German heritage I resent the use of the term Kraut.

Kimchee is superior.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

As a middle name?
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Sure, in Korea.
...but I'd rather have a Kraut AT my back, than ON my back. Otherwise, sounds like I have a condiment addiction...
