    These are fantastic, but can we also chronicle what professions/activities are being recognized:

    Lifeguard
    Paramedic
    Firefighter
    Nurse
    Ski Patrol/ Mountain rescue
    and then...

    Nuclear technician?
    uhm...
    Laser soldier?
    Bomb squad?

    Oh wait, I can google "technisches hilfswerk".

    Okay. Technical relief.

    That clears that up...

    Hahhah, I wondered about the last one too. And I still don't get it. Even though I'm German.
