Operation "Black". A soldier of the SS Division "Prinz Eugen" caught at an awkward moment on the way to the operational area. But there is no shame among soldiers and it is always better to take care of certain physiological needs before battle. (As with animals, involuntary excretion of feces or urine in threatening situations is relatively common for humans. In a survey conducted on US soldiers after World War II, as many as 21% of the sample studied reported losing control of the bowels during battle, and 9% losing control of the bladder.)

Operacija "Crno". Vojnik SS-divizije "Princ Ojgen" uhvaćen u nezgodnom trenutku na putu ka operativnom području. Naravno, među vojnicima stida nema, a određene fiziološke potrebe uvek je bolje obaviti pre borbe. (Kao i kod životinja, nevoljno pražnjenje creva ili bešike u opasnim situacijama relativno je česta pojava kod ljudi. U jednom istraživanju sprovedenom nad američkim vojnicima posle II svetskog rata, čak je 21% ispitanika prijavilo gubitak kontrole nad crevima tokom borbi, a 9% nad bešikom.)
