I don't want to think about that

I registered on eBay 20 years ago this month. Sooner or later everything turns to dust

Yep, and next year kids born after 9/11 will go on to fight in the WoT. The future is now user.

I am sure there are some playing World of Tanks right now, hell some may even play War Thunder

Here is a better video that doesn't sound like the singers where auto-tuned.

I think about how many people were lost, how many men were taken in World War 1. What would we be like as a planet if they lived, and hadn't died in the trenches? What would the United States be like if it was never needed to supply troops, or if a generation of european men hadn't been thrown into the machine if that damned thing in the balkans never kicked off? I think about this a lot.

War. War never changes

I want some decent WW1 programming.

That BBC one with I think Dan Snow was truly an abomination, with fucking pop music over talking about machine guns or what clothing soldiers wore it was embarrassing. Have the people behind the Civil War and Vietnam series given it a go?

The displays and signs were perked up for the centennial, it was an incredible experience. I went back next year, and that was almost cooler. Everything was still freshly rennovated, but not nearly as many normalfags and school children were there.

My First World War-era service rifles. Technically two of these don't count because they were manufactured after November 11th 1918, but they're the proper pattern.

Nice user

Thanks for the heads up and trying to keep people informed, but I'm hiding this shit.
WW1 is never far from my mind and I was mindful of it long before Battlefield 1. It's a very interesting war. Not as catastrophic as WW2 but more interesting in my mind

If by WoT you mean War on Tyranny, then you are correct

That book is hardcore as fuck. Seriously, he was fucking crazy sometimes the shit he didn't die from. He should have been dead like 10x over, but he survived every time. can you imagine being an infantry platoon leader tasked with charging an enemies trench and taking it. I get nervous just thinking about it, those guys actually did it. Multiple times a month, sometimes week. Seriously FUCK ww1. Give me any other conflict to fight in.

You need a lebel or bertheir, a carcano and a 1917 enfield. I know im missing quite a few others, but that should cover all the main factions of ww1.

and in between the fights he describes the landscape and the various bugs he sees. if you read his later works from the 20s and 30s he regards the war years with a lot of sentimentality

For the Entent I need a Berthier M07-15, an Italian Carcano M1891, Belgian M1889 Mauser, a Portuguese Verguiero M1904, a Romanian M1893 Mannlicher, a Serbian M1910 Mauser, a Greek Mannlicher-Shoenauer M1903/14, a Chinese Hayang-88, a Siamese Type-46 Mauser and a Brazilian M1908 Mauser. This covers countries that had their own unique service rifle at the time of their participation in the conflict (still unsure whether or not to include Luxembourg M1900 Mauser since they didn't resist German occupation militarily). Not all of these rifles actually saw combat because logistics dictated that it was often easier to arm small Allied expeditionary forces with the equipment of the hosting army (e.g. Siamese forces in Europe using French weapons, Portuguese troops in Europe using British weapons).

For the Central Powers I need an Ottoman Model 1903 Mauser.

After that I can start in on substitute-standard and more obsolete rifles like the Pattern 1914 and M1917 Enfields, Mle.1886 M93 Lebel, Mannlicher M1888, Gew.88 etc.

Right is a Lidar picture of Douaumont in 2018, showing what's under the trees.
Being a defender in this fort must have been a really tense experience. Bombed night and day for weeks by 400 mm shells falling every ten seconds or less, I'm not even sure we could make a realistic movie about that, it would PTSD the audience.

That bayonet looks gay as fuck on that 1903. Why didn't you put the blued, short one?

Why are you civilians or POGs such butthurt faggots on Jow Forums? Is it because you came from r*ddit after they shut down all the gun stuff?

M1 bayonet is not correct for WW1.

I remember when I read on the news the last living WWI veteran died. I think I was 15ish.
Motherfucking F

>No 1917

US Model 1905 bayonet made by Springfield Armory in 1906.

German ersatz-SG.98 circa-1915 made by ???

British Pattern 1907 bayonet made October 1916 by Chapman & Co.

Correct.

this is the way of life. Think of all the good men who died in the Napoleonic wars, or the greco and hellenistic wars in ancient greece. life continues. The difference is that back then, when a woman's husband died, his brother would take her as his wife

WWI makes me so angry when when I look at the state of Britain today, those poor lads died for nothing we threw it all away.

I think about how many more were lost 20 years later because Germany gave in before the Allies could really crush them. I honestly think that the whole second war could've been avoided if Allied troops forced their way into Germany proper and occupied the whole country. There'd be no German Civil War, no "stabbed in the back" meme, and probably not even enough Germans left to make a Reichswehr, let alone a Wehrmacht.

it would have happened in the 20's because of communism anyway

Actually reading storm of steel right now in bed. A short sentence of a little french girl being killed by an English shell as she was rummaging in a garden pit really made me sad.

The only good guys were the soldiers in the trenches

>I honestly think that the whole second war could've been avoided if Allied troops forced their way into Germany proper and occupied the whole country.
This would have lead to the eventual clusterfuck that was Weimar Germany regardless if there was occupation. The allies would have forced democracy on a nation where it did not organically sprout and the same problems would have occured. Wholesale occupation would fail the rectify the problems that were German identity, if anything it would make them more bitter to the loss.

ok

A big conflict would have happened unless Bismarck didn’t get shafted by Wilhelm II, but even then Bismarck was getting pretty old and people started taking him less and less seriously.
I already play World of Tanks.
Russia allied with Serbia to extend their influence into the Balkans, no one really expected some meme group to actually manage to assassinate someone important.
Even if that did happen you still had the Red Scare, what would have been much more ground breaking was the White Movement succeeding in Russia and more cooperation happening in Europe, especially with the newly formed countries. But that obviously never happened.

I bought on it when it was a listservice know as Electronic Bay Area Yardsale.

The only historic significance of WW1 is that it caused (((FDR))) and allowed for (((kikes))) to stab Wiemar in the back and cost it the war (they wouldn't have won, but the (((subversionists))) did their best to ensure defeat).
