Between massive amounts of radiation exposure, decades of neglect end exposure to the elements, and, and the cost of parts for extremely outdated equipment, it would be more practical from both a financial and safety standpoint to just buy new slavshit.

It's a railway gun. It operates on a massive railway system, and it fires roughly 2 rounds an hour. 800mm calibre (the biggest field gun that saw service during WW2 was a 128mm gun on the Jagdtiger) and it's shells were larger than a T-34.

That's 'Mad' Jack Churchill man. Only man to have ever killed someone with a longsword & Longbow during WW2. He signed up to be a commando (What later became the SBS & SAS divisions) and jumped off the landing craft in Norway screaming 'COMMANDOS' and playing the pipes.
Oh, and he rounded up 53~ Germans by an artillery position with nothing but a longsword. By himself. In Normandy.

I heard that when one side attacked, the other side would counterattack as soon as the enemy was repelled.
Why? Every attack against trenched troops was almost suïcide...

because they just threw hundreds or thousands of men at your barbed wire, rifles, and machine guns. The idea was to hope that the enemy took enough loses that they wouldn;t have the defensive power to without an attack.

Because people hadn't figured out what an industrialized war meant. Weapons became far more deadly, but tactics were still stuck in musket mode. Fucking shit loads of people had to die before someone was like "Oh shit nigger, these techniques don't work any more."

The scaffolding would have also been provided by Eiffel. He was a steel magnate (the core of the Statue of Liberty is steel), so I would imagine the scaffolding is heavy duty steel I beams. It was in the days before the aluminium tube scaffolding we have today, when wooden scaffolding would have likely been the alternative. My guess anyway.

Cause it was the first industrialzed war in the world. The 1stWW was far more civilized than the second. Only soldiers fought

Criticising an alternate spelling of the then popular name Adolf with a sentence devoid of any punctuation whatsoever is not impressing anyone, dipshit. The soliders in that photo had a better command of the English language.
Fun fact: Hitler's own family was never quite sure how to spell their own family name. They used Hiedler, Hüttler and Huettler before your dear leader settled on Hitler.

This is completely wrong.
Viktor Bulla’s Pioneers in Defense Drill, Leningrad (1937)
Quote:
Bulla’s photograph of hundreds of children wearing gas masks was not meant to be ghoulish, a commentary on war or lost innocence, but rather exemplified a reason for pride—the country was blessed with well-trained, well-equipped and obviously courageous young fighters.

i saw this photo in my History class back in high school, my teacher said that they used to have diferent watches for different time zones.
so if they see it is 5:30 in where they were stationed, it would be 3:30 or 3:00 back in the homeland.
they did this for multiple times for different places they were positioned
