9 Months of Hell: Surviving Germany’s Elite Alpine Warfare Training

Video Description

Nine Months of Hell: Surviving Germany’s Bundeswehr Elite Alpine Warfare Training Revealed Soldiers on the Edge: Training Germany’s Elite Mountain Guides In the Bavarian Alps, the German Bundeswehr trains one of the toughest elite units on earth: the Army Mountain Guides. To earn their badge, candidates must survive nine grueling months in ice, snow, and rock. Temperatures plunge to –30°C, winds roar at 120 km/h, and altitudes soar to 5,000 meters. Each soldier must climb the equivalent of Mount Everest ten times, while mastering skiing, alpine climbing, and avalanche rescue. The training begins in Mittenwald at the Karwendel Barracks before moving to the glaciers of Austria, the cliffs of the Dolomites, and the icy peaks of Mont Blanc. Under the eyes of veterans like Lieutenant Colonel Grillhosel, candidates face climbing walls, endurance runs, helicopter rescues, and explosive avalanche control. Only the strongest pass. For them, the Army Mountain Guide badge is more than a qualification—it’s survival tested in Europe’s deadliest terrain. #weltdocumentary #bundeswehr #mountainguide #alpinewarfare #germanarmy #elitesoldiers This video was translated and dubbed using AI! 📺 Watch more documentaries https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-5sURDcN_Zl8hBqkvZ6uXFpP3t55HU9s 🔔 Subscribe to our full documentary channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBAeFXaLV1ZqKqc-Uf3pKaA?sub_confirmation=1
