    My late father, a WW2 survivor (by the skin of his teeth) stated that there were three classes of soldiery the Germans actively feared and avoided if at all possible; the Scotsmen or the Ladies from Hell; the NZ Maoris for fearless hand-to-hand use of the cold steel and the Ghurkas, for well-known reasons.
