Is there similar areas that are restricted from WW2? no because you don't have a relatively static front for four years and the amount of artillery that was shot in to a small space during WWI is incredible. During 8 days at the Somme, Allied artillery alone fired 1.73 million rounds in to a twenty six kilometer long section of the front. During Messines, Allied artillery alone fired 3.25 million rounds in to about eighteen kilometers of front. People in Northeast France and Belgium find duds fairly frequently in fields. Germans sometimes dig up unexploded bombs in cities but it's nowhere near the level of risk that the Zone Rouge presents.

Ensign Expendable posted:I think the skull gets across the language barrier pretty well. Leaving the skull aside, if we're talking about English specifically "militarie," "defense," and above all "danger" are close enough to the English words that anyone who's actually paying attention to the sign will probably get the idea. Even "mort" can probably be guessed at by a fair few English speakers. Though that being said, I feel like if you're the kind of tourist who thinks that jumping over barbed wire fences you ran across in rural areas is a good idea, even odds says that you weren't planning on reading any signs any ways.

People who are just now discovering the Zones Rouge should also look into the Iron Harvest, the annual event in farms all around the old Western Front when the farmers plough their fields, dig up a load of old shells, and leave them neatly in a row by the roadside for the army to take away and dispose of. Make sure you include "-game" in your search to avoid picking up a load of results about some Kickstarter RTS bag of bollocks.

zoux posted:drat he blamed the German people for losing the war before it even started I guess. It's more that "Once they started losing, obviously they were weak and unworthy of him, so he accelerated the rate at which they lost and increased the chaos of defeat in order to punish them." Also at the end he throws in a bit of "It's an old psychological concept, if you can't understand why someone is doing something, look at the outcome." So his chain of logic goes "Hitler lost the war while doing incredibly stupid, counterproductive things, therefore he must have WANTED to lose the war, our task is to figure out why, and my answer is because he wanted to punish the German people for not living up to his brilliance." Forget his scholarship, the chain of logic here is fascinatingly dumb.

Tomn posted:It's more that "Once they started losing, obviously they were weak and unworthy of him, so he accelerated the rate at which they lost and increased the chaos of defeat in order to punish them." If his point was that Hitler was perhaps more interested in just loving up as much poo poo as possible vice creating a really wonderful beautiful peaceful thousand year reich, I think there's at least something worth exploring there. This video picks up in the middle of whatever this is so I've no idea if this was his point or not. I know nothing about psychoanalysis and I am not much of an expert on Hitler, so it could be totally off on Mars, but as a well-read layperson the idea that Hitler was just a kind of deranged anarchist who found a particularly good conduit to destroy society seems at least superficially plausible. I also have never heard of this person before and have no idea if or why he is bad.

Eh, my armchair analysis puts him more at messianic complex who's decisions are heavily influenced by the assumption he'll have to keep rolling boxcars. Also the performance enhancing qualities of IV meth, morphine and bull semen are somewhat overstated. quote:I also have never heard of this person before and have no idea if or why he is bad. hot gently caress does this dude suck. alt right shitbird

This video picks up in the middle of whatever this is so I've no idea if this was his point or not. Well, looking through the Twitter thread, apparently the context of this was a discussion about Cain and Abel as an example of the power of religious archetypes. Appears he threw in this bit about Hitler as an aside during the lecture. As far as his argument goes, "Hitler started killing the Jews during the war because of a subconscious desire to punish Germany for its failure to overcome the Soviet Union" seems like it'd have a ways to go to compete with "Hitler started killing the Jews during the war because he genuinely believed that Jews were harming the war effort through their plots, as per the whole "stab-in-the-back" myth of WW1." Edit: Also the Nazi leadership was pretty down with the Final Solution as well, so if you go with the psychoanalysis route of a bruised ego lashing out at Germany you'd also have to make it apply to them on top of Hitler.

Slim Jim Pickens posted:*extremely Montezuma voice* Even in Moscow oblast you get a nice serving of old metal every plowing season. Not really iron harvest levels, but this sort of stuff is extremely common and there's a market in Moscow where you can buy stuff people dug up. Sometimes they'll find a huge thing like a tank in a forest, which is harder to sell, but not impossible.
