I really liked Storm of Steel. In the heat of battle, they would be killed on sight. In the dugouts, hands up with friends firing behind you, and definitely fixed machine gunners. But after the fact, they were treated with equality.

Seems out of reach nowadays, and for good reason.

>>2625012

I do feel sorry for that guy, it's an awkward kind of pity

If I'm not mistaken, this is a Russian guy obsessed with America.

Afganistan did look pretty great back before about the 80s or so, at least in photos. Actually, a lot of places in the middle east and central asia did, it's kind of sad to see what happened.

The US's entry in the war is what fucked Europe for good. Read Hoppe.

I stand by my post.

WWI is what fucked Europe for good. By the time the US entered it millions had already died, dumbshit.
Read real history books.

It really feels like a period that ended permanently with WWI. And we were lucky enough to see the last couple years of this classical Europe captured on footage and quality photos. I don't know who coined the term "end of the world" conserning WWI but it's accurate.

I feel that way but with WW2. Everything after 1945 feel ungenuine and fake. From food, to architecture, to people, etc. Globalism killed our true ways of life. Everything is too connected now.

Some call it pandering.
Others say it "humanizes" (whatever the fuck that means) Hitler too much,

It's just a great shot, taken at a very difficult time for Europe. Despite the fatigue and pain the man still salutes the leader who threw him into the fray of war. And the beloved leader smiles at the man and acknowledges his sacrifice.

no clue...in case you didnt realize the man went to salute Hitler and he grabbed his arm to lower it.

I Imagine even if you did, the guy would look like Freddy Kreuger and probably have chronic pain plus some form of paralysis. Probably a mercy if he died soon after the photo.

You fucking retards, Afghanistan outside of Kabul was a shithole, just like it is now.
If you're going to do this "We Wuz prosperous" meme at least do it with some place like Iraq or Libya, Afghanistan was always third world.

>>2629203
It's more a depiction of culture and seeing those people actually happy, rather than a notion of wealth.

>>2629203
It used to be safe enough that hippie backpackers would walk through after they were done with India.

The Russians ruined it, just like they ruin everything they touch.
