Apart from owning this lumpy tank in Tanks, the NCO's who've seen shit since '41 probably could tell what a typical Wolverine looks like (I thought during the Great Forest Campfest the Wolverines were replaced with Hellcats)
Operation Greif was intended to secure one or more bridges over the Meuse River before they could be destroyed. Wearing captured British and American uniforms, German forces were to cause confusion and chaos behind the lines, though the lack of vehicles, uniforms and equipment meant little actually came of it apart from an increased sense of paranoia and small skirmishes. Sixteen German soldiers were tried and executed for espionage. The operation's commander Otto Skorzeny and nine of his officers were tried during the Dachau Trials as war criminals for improperly using American uniforms "by entering into combat disguised therewith and treacherously firing upon and killing members of the armed forces of the United States." They were also charged with participation in wrongfully obtaining U.S. uniforms and Red Cross parcels consigned to American prisoners of war from a prisoner-of-war camp. Acquitting all defendants, the military tribunal drew a distinction between using enemy uniforms during combat and for other purposes including deception; it could not be shown that Skorzeny had actually given any orders to fight in U.S. uniforms. Skorzeny said that he was told by German legal experts that as long as he didn't order his men to fight in combat while wearing U.S. uniforms, such a tactic was a legitimate ruse of war. A surprise defense witness was F.F.E. Yeo-Thomas, a former Allied Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent, who testified that he and his operatives wore German uniforms behind enemy lines.
True. The art of using disguise uniforms probably dated older back then.
But it is a question if they actually attack someone while in disguise.
By Skorzeny's testimony, he never ordered his soldiers to engage Allied forces while wearing the stolen uniforms. If he had done so, then war crimes would have been committed, as his soldiers would have acted as franc-tireurs, free-shooters, acting outside the laws of war.

Then those soldiers who committed it should be punished for insubordination then?
