The German army seemed to prefer slip-on boots, while the Americans and British preferred lace-up boots.  In my experience from marching and hiking, lace-up boots are far superior.  Any thoughts on this?

Lichtsprechgerät 80/80. The device was inventer pre WW2 and it is attached to an audio amplifier system. It has a highly directional IR system and the lens system is party used to direct the transmitter to receiver. Communication distance is max 4km and what is the best feature of this system is that you cannot detect or intercept its communication.
