So i can't find any good quality Kaiserreich flags for a resonable price, even if i manage to find something, the shipping costs are huge.
Thinking about buying this as a starter pickelhaube. I will be buying a custom made one on Facebook after, but I want a cheap one to kinda crash test just curious if anyone has bought it and could send some pictures and tell me what they think about it because there are 0 reviews. Thanks and please don't roast me because it's not a custom one like I said it's a crash test helmet
Im sure youve seen a few posts here where i post Discord screenshots with little Szenarios from a world where germany won WW1.
As youd imagine, its not super easy finding pictures that could be from a timeline like that and then trying to craft a lil Story for it. Same other way around. I also noticed that some of my posts get fewer upvotes than others, wich i understand. I have some lacking quality in last time and many posts are not even about germany.
So i ask YOU to send in pictures or lil Szenarios that could be made into a Fixing History post. Dankeschön.
I think a lot of people struggle to understand why someone like myself takes so much interest in imperial German soldiers of the Great War. A lot of people just assume and accept it as someone being weird. Mostly because they view these soldiers as being the enemy.
I believe that the era of modern history begins with the Great War, and that nobody understood how modern warfare worked during the early days. You had a situation where all these young men were sent in to battle with spectacularly modern and efficient equipment but they were commanded by old men of the past who didn’t understand how to use it. This resulted in a lot of sacrifice in vein.
There is a certain level of art to warfare, and it’s always exciting to see people do their job really well, to watch a master complete their art. I think anyone can appreciate that. That’s why I have such an interest in the German Stoßtruppen of WWI. I believe are represent the first cohesive group that really understood the art of modern war and what it was to be a warrior in the new age. I believe it required a great level of bravery, skill and commitment to achieve this, which is something I respect.
Unfortunately it seems this part of history has been vilified by its future, by what German history became and what it has become to represent. But these were young men, tricked by their politicians and teachers into dying in the old men’s war. They were not unlike any British or French soldier who are conversely celebrated unanimously.
It seems to me that Hitler has poisoned this part of history and discredited these young men in the common mind, which ironically was exactly what he wanted.
As most people can’t tell the difference between the First and Second World War soldiers, often the Imperial German memorials are desecrated and disrespected. Or at best are forgotten. I believe they deserve fair representation, respect, and remembrance.
Lest we forget. Or be doomed to repeat.
A music box plays a 1894 song (The Song of Aegir) composed by Kaiser Bill himself. The famous Sousa’s Band also recorded it on a shellac disk in 1903, but it is assumed lost.
Dont worry, ill be a bit more german heavy next time
