Terror

The Freikorps Oberland was founded in April 1919 by Rudolf von Sebottendorf, president of extreme right Thule Society.

Most of the members were between 20 and 30 years old and had the experience of fight, either in the World War I or in the fights in Bavaria, Ruhr area or in Upper Silesia.

In May 1919 the Oberland fought against Bavarian Soviet Republic and in the Silesian Uprisings 1921 the Freikorps Oberland participated in the conquest of in Annaberg in Upper Silesia.

In September 1923 they joined together with the Nazi Party and more national organisations the "Deutscher Kampfbund". From 25 September 1923 the Kampfbund was guided by Adolf Hitler.

On 8 November 1923 the Bund activated many members and participated active in the Hitlerputsch. Members of the Bund led by Ludwig Oestreicher took jewish people as hostages.

We don't learn and never will, there'll always be another arsehole willing to do that something that will put us all at odds with one another again. And we'll look back and ask ourselves why again and again and again.

The New Zealand government had ordered 30 Vickers Wellington Mk1C bombers in 1938. RNZAF aircrew were sent to England to train on the new aircraft based at RAF Marham.

As a result of Britain declaring war against Germany, the New Zealand Government made the airman and aircraft available to the RAF to help with the new war effort. A decision by the British Air Ministry to give them the defunct No. 75 Squadron numberplate on 4 April 1940 as an operational unit of the RAF.

The squadron flew more sorties than any other Allied heavy bomber squadron, suffered the second most casualties of all Allied squadrons, and dropped the second largest weight of bombs of any Allied squadron.

The 512th schwere Panzerjaeger Abteilung (sPz.Jg.Abt.) was formed in late January 1945 at Sennelager, north of Paderborn. It was one of only two Abteilungen (the other being the 653rd) to be equipped with Jagdtigers. Ernst was impressed by the giant vehicle and its 12.8cm gun, whose barrel was more than eight meters long.

On March 24th, elements of the 512th Abteilung, together with the 506th schwere Panzerabteilung and 654th schwere Jagdpanzerabteilung formed Panzergruppe Hudel and attacked between Eitorf and Siegburg towards the southwest, with the intention to destroy the US bridgehead.

The German assault on the Remagen bridgehead failed mainly because the attack forces were committed piecemeal. Hitler had given orders to attack “immediately with every available unit.”

Following the failure of the attack, Ernst and his Jagdtigers were given the job of covering the German withdrawal. The tank destroyers moved into position and knocked out pursuing American tanks from a range of two kilometers, demonstrating the outstanding accuracy of the Jagdtiger’s 12.8cm gun.

Jagdtigers are sexy. Impractical and unreliable, but sexy nonetheless.

It's a bbj. Big Beautiful Jagdpanzer

The Heiligenbeil Pocket or Heiligenbeiler Kessel was the site of a major encirclement battle on the Eastern Front during the closing weeks of World War II, in which the Wehrmacht's 4th Army was almost entirely destroyed during the Soviet Braunsberg Offensive Operation (13–22 March 1945).

Attempts by the Red Army to break through the German perimeter early in February were fought back, with the Fourth Army receiving heavy artillery support from the German cruisers Admiral Scheer and Lützow firing across the Haff from the Baltic sea into the Frauenburg end of the pocket.

Though the German forces in East Prussia had no realistic hope of victory, and were severely short of manpower, ammunition, and fuel, they continued to offer strong resistance, inflicting extremely high casualties (584,788+) on the Red Army during the East Prussian Operation. Ad hoc battle groups were often bolstered by civilians press-ganged into the Volkssturm, and many East Prussian villages and towns had been turned into fortified strongpoints, in addition to the substantial fortifications centred on Heilsberg. The fighting was prolonged in order to keep open civilian escape routes

Soviet sources claimed 93,000 enemy dead and 46,448 taken prisoner during the operation; German sources claim that many troops in the Kessel were successfully evacuated to the Frische Nehrung.

Not sure if this counts, but it must've been terrifying to see the aftermath of horrors like Gettysburg. Corpses as far as the eye can see, and the stench of rotting corpses in the summer sun.

THink about hunting boar. For like five years after some of these battles one couldnt eat wild boar because the boar ate the flesh of the dead soldiers.

Such confidence and cheer on his handsome face, seems as if he hasn't seen battle yet

1944. The Finns get an ultimatium from the Soviets. Attack the Germans, keep your country or Finland vanishes off the face of the Earth.

Finns attack the Germans, who were in the process of transfering back to Germany and Norway. The Lapland War is on. Germans say fuck this and evacuate to their destinations quicker.

The sign is a parting gift from the Germans. It reads: "As a thanks for NOT demonstrating a brotherhood of arms".

tfw you will never have a beautiful French collaborationist waifu fiancee who will disregard her own safety (tracking you down while you fight) and freedom (she went to the POW camp with him) to sit by her man, even if it would be more easy to forget he existed..

What prevented these border guards from defecting prior to the wall? What sort of encouragement did East Germans even get to become a border guard and not run (while not under the direct supervison of a commissar or something)?

Fuck, how long was this guy in prison for?

every armor is a deathtrap depending on how and where you were hit

trying to dramatize it just makes you american

>666
satanic trips remind me of that desert storm highway strafing

They weren't german. And the encouragement was we keep your family alive.

>the French empire permanently gone within 10 months.

A cousin of my grandfather lost one leg, one arm and one eye on the eastern front during a plane attack.
After the war he still managed to sire seven children, all of them were girls.
I have a picture of him and his family standing infront of his way to small Lloyd car (these cheap af cars were actually build with plywood).
I like the picture because it shows that life always goes on, even if the ruskies blow you in half.
Gonna upload it when I visit home.

Also, propaganda which led them to believe they'd be mistreated by the West and the fact that being a border guard was a steady job that provided for your family in a city in ruins which was not guaranteed if you flee.

If one of us grows tied,

If one of us should fall,

Happen to know what the caption says? Or is it just what you wrote?

Not the same user, but I can get a few parts of it. Says something about how he was an Albanian muslim volunteer, and that he received standard issue German equipment except for his hat, which was unique to his unit.

In 1939 more than 10,000 Polish cavalrymen charged against German tanks, but armed with only their sabers and lances the Poles were cut down to very last man and horse.

Russian Expediatory Force in France, 1916

>In 1915 the French requested that Russian troops be sent to fight alongside their own army on the Western Front. Initially they asked for 300,000 men, an unrealistically high figure, probably based on assumptions about Russia's 'unlimited' reserves. General Mikhail Alekseev, the Imperial Chief of Staff, was opposed to sending any Russian troops, although Nicholas II finally agreed to send a unit of brigade strength.

Is that why there are rifles on their backs?

You know, it really says something about Goebbels that Nazi is propaganda is still regurgitated some 70 years later.

Because rifles can shoot through tanks and pierce their armor with their amazing accuracy, am I right?

Interesting. Thanks.
