Not really war is hell, but Last Floridan Confederate soldier goes for a ride.

I guess the amount of hell he saw over the many years counts - from he Civil War to the impending Nuclear doom.

If you look into his, you can see his soul attempting to flee.

That's a guy who was a little kid during the civil war, dumbshit. Don't spit everything you hear on reddit.

>>31772432
Pardon the intrusive gear queer question, but what kinda boots are those the medic is wearing? Or do the straps belong to some kind of abbreviated gator?

>>31772485

+1 you sure showed me. It's like children wouldn't be deployed as powder monkeys and musicians, and never see the hell of that war first hand.

>>31772351
>US troops getting to use MG42s

That must've been fun.

>>31772504
He was literally a brat who did nothing in the war. He claimed to have served in the Alabama infantry but the only records of him put him as born in 1859. The confederate navy didn't employ 5 year-old powder monkies.

I always enjoyed this photo. At first it's all "Hurr durr, Tommy so fat!", but when you stop and process what you're looking at you realize the sergeant would very likely tear the kraut limb from limb if they had it out.

It's the krauts' fault for not coming up with a better way to transport supplies

These always make me smile. Just a little.
Reminds me of a story where a US soldier captured a german officer. He decided to let him go after days of holding him. The officer thanked him, and gave him his pistol. It was after the war that he discover that the luger had never been fired.

As for our jap friend here, atleast they didnt make him walk the plank.

any more stories like this? what were the soldiers treated like after the war?

>>31773898

It took quite a while for Wehrmacht vets to get recognition after the war and recieved a basic pension eventually. Waffen-SS men were declared an illegal organization and so the government didn't have to pay them at all, which if why HIAG was created.

Do the winter war and the continuation war count as ww2 or are they separate conflicts?

>>31772283

>"An SS Stabsscharführer is questioned by an Armia Krajowa NCO shortly after the capitulation of the German held PAST Building. Note the "Lightning" machine pistol and captured Stahlhelm. Captured Stahlhelms, often adorned with red and white brassards to prevent friendly fire, became symbols of the uprising, as each Stahlhelm worn by an insurgent represented a killed German occupier that it was taken off of. Date: August 20th, 1944."

anymore pics of sad stuff or soldiers from both sides being friendly?

>>31772543
What a man.

I don't have a photo to share, but a short story. After the war the Fritz's left a bunch of staff cars, guns,explosives and even a couple tanks near my village. Of course as you can imagine, a bunch of Norwegian farmers don't consider the value these goods would get. Tanks were stripped down and used as tractors. And I shit you not, grenades were used to hunt ducks and deer. My grandfather has a mauser wich he knows was used to execute an old woman. (He also did some minor sabotage during the war, but that's another story)

>>31776848

were are these traktors now?

lmao shut the fuck up CARL xD
