“And believe me, THAT STUFF WORKS!”
The VC & NVA used to strip down to a loincloth. Then they’d run up to the concertina carrying a long bamboo pole. They’d lie on their backs with the pole on their chests running 6 feet or so above their heads with the tip touching the ground.
They would slide the tip under the concertina, then crawl on their backs, pushing the concertina up enough to slither under it. No clothing to catch on the sharp points. This was not too difficult to do with plain barbed wire concertina. However, the “German Tape” (razor wire) was much more difficult.
Fascinating!
Thank you for your service.
