The German contribution

The world of international special forces is highly interconnected. Much of it remains hidden from the public eye. A fascinating article on the website KAMPFSCHWIMMER.DE explains how US Americans and Germans have collaborated in the field of maritime special forces over the past few decades. Titled "Von Eckernförde bis Abbottabad", the article explores the influence of SEALs and German KSMs on the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU). The image above actually shows members of SEAL Team Two and German KSMs during a recent joint VBSS exercise.
