This picture makes me emotional. If you think about it, those men lying dead on the ground were once people with thoughts, fears and dreams. The man lying dead by the truck has a look of rugged peace on his face and I wonder what went through his head in his last moments, I wonder what killed him and if I close my eyes, I imagine I can hear the cracks of the K98s and Lee-Enfields, the smell of the truck and the earth beneath me, of cordite and blood... I can hear my ears ringing and the MP40 in my hands dancing like a demon, and in the peace that follows, the songs of the birds in the hedgerows, and a warm breeze and the feeling of hot blood soaking my uniform... the coming of the pain as the adrenaline fades, and the fading of the pain with the coming of death.

There's so much to see in this picture, it's one of my favourite ever.

Sorry Bats, but that's one of Bob Capa's photos:

"Robert Capa stories: In 1945, he was photographing an American corporal manning a machine gun on the balcony of an apartment building overlooking the Zeppelin Bridge in Leipzig, which the United States Army had just fought its way across. Capa, having caught up with the advancing troops, figured that the view from the balcony ''could be the last picture of the war for my camera.'' He arrived at the apartment in time to snap the corporal reloading his gun when a German sniper in the street fired a bullet through the soldier's neck, killing him.

Capa photographed the American sprawled across the balcony doorway in a pool of blood, a Pieta in helmet and khakis. With his usual bravado, Capa declared the picture to be of ''the last man to die'' in the war, a bookend image to his photograph of the dying Spanish Loyalist in 1936."

The place where I got the picture listed it as a Soviet trooper killed in Berlin. Inspecting the photo, that's an M1919 Browning ammo box with a cloth machine-gun belt.

What an awesome pic

I like pictures like this because it shows that Nazis were not the evil scum that people think. My girlfriends grandfather was a Nazi in the Luftwaffe in the war and he's an awesome guy.

The major atrocities in WWII were not caused by the entire Wehrmacht or each individual soldier.

Also, the atrocities of WWII were not a german failing, they were a human failing
>> negro !!OLxpMuMCAIw
>>399437
you are right, it was not only the Nazi Ideology that caused those atrocities. The mobile warfare itself was a source of atrocities. The soldiers of both sides, especially in the eastern front would often go to farmers and demand their food, because the supply lines during this kind of combat were not as good as for example in ww1. And now imagine these civillians are "visited" by different armies multiple times. In a city like Charkov you would either be shot by Germans because of anti-partisan retribution, you could be shot because you are a jew, you could end up as "collateral damage", or you could be shot or sent to GULAG by soviet NKVD because you managed to survive the life under Germans and were therefore a potential Nazi-Collaborator. Those 17 Millions of dead russian civillians in WW2 are an incredible number.

Oh and I was reminded of this pic because the artist crossed out the swastika. I remember hearing once that towards the end of the war most Germans couldn't give a shit about the Nazi regime, but continued to fight as German nationalist defending their country, which might be what the artist was trying to show in this picture.

I live in the southern part of The Netherlands, and my neighbour was a kid during the war.

He told me that when the Germans invaded, 2 of them and their dog got stationed in his house, Walter and another whose name I forgot.
He told me they were very kind and helped doing the chores and played with him. They also brought home meat, which was very rare in those days.
Nothing was broken in those days, when a school window broke the Germans replaced it very quickly he recalled.
The real mess started when the Canadians came to liberate the city. The fighting was very heavy and they had to flee to farms. He recalled panic and airplanes shooting at them, but he can't remember the nationality. Everyone was an enemy that day.

When the war was over he really missed his 2 German friends and said during lunch "I dont want your bread, I want a sandwich from the Kraut".

He never saw those 2 soldiers again. And in memory he named his dog after the German dog he played so much with: Kaya.

Just preparing for a cataclysmic war that never came is not a 'proper' war. Neither is supplying arm and training to other countries to fight against your superpower opponent. Armies invading other countries' borders and/or attacking their ships at sea in coordinated and mass battles is a war.

During a college history class, the professor asked what the organizations of NATO and the Warsaw Pact were.
I answered, "The two military superpowers that emerged after the Second World War formed up European countries within their spheres of influence to share defense pacts to watch their opponents and plan coherent and unified military attack and defense strategies. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the West, the Warsaw Pact for the Soviet satellite states in the East. The defense pacts resulted in the two nuclear superpowers vying against each others' European borders for decades WITHOUT A SHOT BEING FIRED. Two vast computerized nuclear battle-forces TOTALLY IMPOTENT! Each kept in check by the fear of attacking without being destroyed by the nuclear retaliation of the other; each awaiting the time of MAXIMUM ADVANTAGE. The Cold War was the superpowers locked in a logical impasse."

Yes, I misquoted the lines from the Doctor Who episode, "Destiny of the Daleks" with their war with the rasta robots, the Movellans. Fun stuff!

Graduation of USAAF Bombardier School - Class 43-7
Childress, Texas - May 13th, 1943

An activation ceremony was held in October, and Col. John W. White assumed command on November 24. The first class of cadets began training in February 1943 and graduated in May
Members of this class were dubbed the "Valentine of Steel" class, in reference to a dummy bomb that Mrs. White decorated as a Valentine to Hitler, Mussolini & Hirohito.
This "Valentine" is clearly visible wrapped around the Top portion of the Bomb.

I like the German helmet, the Stahlhelm. It has a nice look to it and it seems like it offers good protection against shrapnel. British helmet looks like utter shit in comparison.

Well, the British helmet looks like it'd provide better protection against shrapnel raining down from above, given its wider, more horizontal steel brim. Just my thoughts.
