That's really cool. But I gotta wonder - why didn't the Germans just give the guy a new artificial leg instead of letting the Brits parachute drop one in? Seems like it'd be easier for everyone.

Those are usually custom fit to the individual and the Germans were probably happy not to take the effort of repeating all that work.

There may be specific fit issues for a new artificial leg. Most prosthesis require quite a bit of fit adjustment.
