What the fuck did you just say about my glorious preußischen Armee you little shit? I'll have you know Preußen was the top military power in all of Europe and it has been involved in numerous great European wars, and they have over 300 confirmed victories. They are trained Napoleonic warfare and they have the top commanders in the entire European continent. You are nothing to them but just another Frenchman. They will annex the fuck out of you with precision the likes of wich has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying shit to Preußens over the internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak, I am contacting my international network of diplomats acorss the HRE and your entire Dynasty is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot.
>>2998969
The storm that wipes out the pathetic thing you call your independance. You're fucking dead kid. They can be anywhere, anytime and They can defeat you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with a single division. Not only are they extensively trained in Clausewitz's teachings, but They have access to the entire arsenal of the Königlich Preußische Armee, and They will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable army off the face of the continent, you little Slav. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
few days till the big push lads. our artillery has been hammering them night and day, ain't seen anything like in all my years on the front. brass reckons we'll just be able to walk over to their trenches and there'll be nothing left of them. i believe them too.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM BITCHES
I can't stress how terrible trenches were. People know the usual stuff like it's wet and you get trench foot but that's not even a fraction of how bad it was.
Trenches were often filled with the body parts of friendly soldiers who were shot next to you or even worse, hit with artillery dismembered. Imagine spending a rotation in a trench and you're constantly stepping on pieces of hand and leg and bone. And the soup-mud that ate people. And then there's the human feces and piss. When you're under constant fire or threat of fire, you're not going to wander out to find a tree (just kidding all of the trees have been splintered and blown up) to take a shit. And then the pests, the lice and the rats, feeding on the remains and feces.
Soldiers would rotate out of the front-lines and when they walk into town the first thing they do is take a bath to wash the stench of pure death off of them, only to return back to it when they're up again. It was truly hell.

>"Then the time came for us to go over. We had to run forward about fifty yards, up some planks over our own front-line trenches, and then across a meadow where it was almost impossible to run; we could only stagger along. As we were going over these planks, about half of us were knocked out-either killed or wounded-and going across the meadow there were a lot more killed. >"When we finally stopped and lay down, trying to get what shelter we could from the tremendous rifle fire which was coming over, a sergeant just in front of me jumped up and said, 'Come on men, be British.' So we jumped up again and followed him. He ran about six yards and then he went down too."

Dear Mother,
Thank you for the biscuits you sent last month, i shared them with my squad with some cheese that Fitzgerald's family sent him. Everyday i feel the cold and the wet creep further towards my core, i'm now thankful for the regular patrols so that i am able to circulate my blood. the snows have stopped for which i am thankful, but they have been replaced by rain which chills through my coat and shirt, particularly when the rain blows.
On my morning patrol i can see a burnt out farm house not 300 yards away from our lines, it's like old Mr.Jenkins' with a mill attached to the stable. When i get home i have resolved to ask Rosie to marry me, i have always loved her and this war has taught me that if you have something in life that makes you happy you should hold onto it and never let it go, i hope to write you again soon, but the shelling has picked up lately which usually means that a push is coming, i ask you to pray for our safe deliverance for i don't think god can hear us here.
your loving son.

>>3000649
That depends on what you want to get out of doing that study. For some people it's purely for the love of history and the period and study of it is its own reward.
I'm fascinated by this strange period were all the old certainties of Empire and technology and class are thrown into confusion by this completely horrendous war and how people and institutions grappled with them.
There's also a thriving industry built around its study and commemoration, so there's also a financial aspect for some.

I dislike how the Central Powers is a single dude narrating whereas the Allies are a bunch of soldiers giving off these one liners.
The game makes the Central Powers out to be the bad guys when that was not the case. And of course mixed units. They should've just made you play as the Harlem Hellfighters for the US faction and call that their diversity quota. Maybe have you play as an entire Indian unit in the desert maps against he Ottomans. It feels so forced in the game.
Overall the game is fun, but it was so disrespectful from a historical point of view. Worst of all they're getting away with it and are not going to answer for it. They're pulling a Hotzendorf

It will be the same level of autism as those who go out in camo pants, but with a bit more taste.
>>3002531
Exacly my thoughts, thank you.
>>3002540
I'd say try and get a real ww1 antique one if you really want one rather than a replica, it will be way cooler plus you can justify having it without wearing it easier.
>>3002494
Its possible to pull it off. Its dated enough that not everyone will think you're an autist since you're being retro. Just don't be fat, have acne, or be a neckbeard. Make sure the pants you wear are fitted. And of course look confident in it.
The trench coats used in WW1 are the predecessors and inspiration used in the modern ones you see today. Peacoats included. So I say it can be done.
When it comes to wearing military and camo clothes you want to go with anything before the 70s. Beyond that and it gets tacky.
Here are two good links that can be useful. While not specifically addressing trench coats it offers good information on how to wear one well.

Even if you could pull off a WW1 trench coat, how would you explain it?
>Hey anon, what coat are you wearing? It looks cool!
>Er, it's a WW1 replica trench coat.
>Oh right haha, cool. *Goes back to ignoring you*

I really enjoyed all the German intros for operations. They sound sad and remorseful, Argonne Forest especially. I hate the british/American ones because they are just "KILL THE KRAUTS"

Been stuck in the middle of some forest for days, surrounded by krauts. Damn friendly artillery is shelling our own positions. Think we're all gonna die out here and be forgotten forever, lads.

Count yourself lucky. /mesopotamia/ here. It's hot as fuck which is x1000 worse than it being cold as fuck. I've been rotated out twice already for hospitalization for dysentery, hospitalized once again for heat stroke, my superior Anglo skin keeps burning, there's never enough water, rotting carcasses are everywhere and the fucking loopoos just make it worse with their stench. And I'm just stuck with them in this rundown desert shithole city. I hear Aylmer is on his way with a relief column; hopefully after he clears out the Turks, the next sickness I get will be serious enough to get me evacuated back to England like my buddy Tim.

I dunno, but the Germans won't SHUT UP with their singing and... what the fuck, is that tree glowing?!? Germans are so weird! I say we go over there tomorrow and see how weird they are. I'm gonna bring my football with me incase you guys wanna play a quick pickup game before the war resumes.

Once they got dirty and faded they were as good a color as any one else's, except maybe the Prussian grey the Germans wore. Prussian grey was adopted in the 1700's as a match for black powder smoke. As the battlefields of the day filled up with smoke individual soldiers wearing prussian grey became harder to target. Still useful in the Great War.

>Gestern Abend gab es den Schampus und den Wein zu saufen, den wir von einem französischen Gutshof mitgehen ließen. Ich unterhiel tmich dabei mit einem jungen Meldegänger namens Helter, Hitler oder so ähnlich. Sehr seltsamer Mensch. Er redete dauernd wirres Zeug und als ich ihm etwas zu trinken anbot, lehnte er energisch ab. Er tränke wohl keinen Alkohol und als Sekt käme für ihn sowieso nur eine Sorte in Frage - Natursekt. Keine Ahnung, was der Mann damit meinte. Morgen geht es zurück an die Front. Wir werden den Inselaffen ordentlich einheizen und diesen Krieg endlich bald beenden!

I am very quiet. Let the months and years come, they can take nothing from me, they can take nothing more. I am so alone, and so without hope that I can confront them without fear. The life
that has borne me through these years is still in my hands and my eyes. Whether I have subdued
it, I know not. But so long as it is there it will seek its own way out, heedless of the will that is
within me.
took me til like 4 in the morning to make that. Didn't know anybody else gave a shit about the poor austro hungarian soldier.
