Seeing a Sherman being used by the Nazis makes me really sad in a way I'm not sure I can justify regarding a piece of inanimate military equipment.

Poor tank. :smith:

The fact that you said this about the Sherman and not the T-34 is why you're going straight to the gulag when the revolution comes, comrade.

It's more like "the Sherman is literally the only tank I can identify by sight because I'm a WW2 equipment dunce", actually.

edit: are there, like, ww2 tank flashcards or something. i'm kind of embarrassed i can't even tell a t-34 from a....... well, that's the only tank i can name.

If they made a movie about Emilio Lussu, no one would believe it.

Every time he shows up I'm just like, yikes.

Anyone got any ideas as to the accuracy of Atonement's fantastic long tracking shot of the Dunkirk evacuation?

Oh. Ohhhhhh.

I did too and oh nooooooooooo

Anyway, what was Sulzbach's background before the war? I can't seem to find his intro post in 1914 or whenever. I've been imagining him as middle class, but I'm not sure if that's right. I do remember him being rather chummy with German officers sometimes, anyway.

100 Years Ago

Good news, motherfuckers. Someone's just come back from holiday.

12 August: We close the book on the Battle of Romani, and General Haig plays a genuinely hilarious jape on General Joffre; but that's just an appetiser for the return to action of Sergeant Flora Sandes, the only Briton the Salonika front who actually wants to be there. Oh, and General von Falkenhayn's position as German commander-in-chief is looking extremely ropey and he desperately needs to not be totally wrong about something; good thing he's assuring everyone in Berlin and the Kaiser too that Romania cannot possibly enter the war until the end of September even if they wanted to, which they probably don't. Digestif courtesy of E.S. Thompson, who's managed to lose his mates' kit, and Max Plowman, who has acquired a batman, a patronising attitude, and a disturbing piece of news.

Flora Sandes is back! :swoon:

So for the general nightmare team, we pretty much have to put Cadorna on it, right? Let's put him in charge of morale and discipline.

Kind of, although the german nationalist conspiracy in the Wargame series was loving ludicrous.

Wait, what?
