In the case of the Wuhan virus it's not the general who is downplaying the effectiveness of masks. Is the experts in the field of infection control.
Mask do nothing to protect against the corona virus infection. In fact masks can make matters worse by becoming the breeding ground of all sorts of nasties.

german and soviet generals didn't wear helmets in ww2 as they were expected to plan and execute their battles in a field hq (in the rear).
They will also tell you to take in in-coming retunring Chinese workers under your home quarantine but you yourself and your family is free from having the need to be in quarantine.
only american generals wear helmets near the frontlines in ww2 with the exception of eisenhower. british generals also didn't wear helmets near the frontlines.
why the officers had ranks on the helmets ? the snipers will shoot the officers first.
they were pretty confident enemy snipers didn't get near them. but in one incident an american general went past no-man's land into german held territory, got caught by a german panzer unit, and frantically tried to remove his rank or clues to his rank. he got shot by an ss tank commander. if he were to display his rank he would most probably be spared his life but captured as prisoner of war.
too bad and sad vic morrow was killed ironically in the making of a (vietnam) war movie. it's also intriguing all these years that hero sarge (vic) was wearing camouflage cover on his helmet that u.s. marines would wear. u.s infantry units (non marines) in both european and pacific theaters then had either uncovered or netted helmets.
btw, in that episode the tank wasn't a ww2 panther. it was an m48 patton used as a prop for a german tank.

How come we never get to see war films produced by the Germans and making them the good guys and winning some of the battles?
I got to see them. You have to ask yourself why you didn't. Perhaps you did not bother to look.

I will give these a miss. They are mostly inaccurate adaption of the war and mostly produced by Hollywood Jews.
WWII docos portraying the U-boat menace in the Atlantic during the early 1940s were the best days for the Germans.

hanor, the krauts certainly had their fair share of victories over the yanks.
it's just the preference and hype for hotdogs and coleslaw vs weiners and sauerkraut
The dishonourable son is a retard.
Leak from the rear?
They are very self aware the things they did was not right. Now a Hitler salute can land u a night in the slammer.
actually the truth on the ground is closer to victors get to rewrite history. most germans have a collective amnesia about this and a lot of those anti-Nazi things were put in place either directly or indirectly from American and Allied involvement in post ww2 germany gahmen. Kind of like how Jap emperor no longer living god.
This is what happens when the general is made of paper.https://tinyurI.com/qwlc44b
