>"Polish lieutenant from the "Kilinski" Battalion interrogates a Waffen SS SturmscharfĂĽhrer shortly after the SS capitulation of the PAST Building, Zielna Street, August 20th, 1944. Note the Lightning submachine gun and confiscated stahlhelm. Captured stahlhelms, often adorned with red and white brassards to prevent friendly fire, became symbols of the uprising as every stahlhelm worn by a Polish insurgent symbolized a dead foreign occupier that it was taken from."

both of them look like they want to go home

This picture is really interesting, it's fascinating to think about how the social dynamics must have drastically shifted immediately after the abolition of slavery.

>social dynamics [...] shifted immediately
I don't think that's how it happened.

...

If I remeber correctly, that photo was taken sometime between 1870 and 1890. The sailor is British and the man being cut loose was picked up on either the Congo or Zanzibar coast.

Good map.

What if it was made between 1939-1941?

1930s me_irl

This guy was probably a communist, too

German Empire was cute desu

The world would probably be better if they had won

lol at the fused shell perched like that.

But that's not as fun

Don't be silly.

Everyone knows we are living in the best of all possible timelines.

Commies confirmed for traveling

Man I need to play more Kaiserreich. The one game I played I was the Russian Empire and captured all of the Don Cuban and Turkestan and such, and got White Ruthenia to leave the Germans when the war with France broke out and then I just steam rolled them, and then I invaded Germany when they were fighting the Frenchies in the west and I toppled all of their Puppet sates except for Poland-Lithuania but Lithuania was essentially mine, got all the way to Danzig and Warsaw before the Germans smashed by shit and I was pushed back to Riga and Ruthenia before I just gave up and stopped playing and now I've lost that save lmao. Hell I got Iron Guard Romania to join the war but if Bulgaria joined Germany then I would have been fucked again. Top tier mod, too bad there developing the new one for shitty HOI4.

Someone please help me
A couple of months ago someone posted a Russian site with this image saying that it was the source of another image of a Bulgarian and two Germans siting in a car. It had tons of photos from Spain, Germany, Japan, Soviet Union, etc, and I saved a lot from the Spanish part but then I forgot the site. Can any user help me?

There was an update recently, and the team converting the mod to HOI4 is not the same team that works on DH. Just played a game as Hashemite Arabia, allied with Persia and Egypt to fuck up the Ottomans, united the Levant with my desert cavalry. The Reich fucked up France early, the American Civil never happened, Russia joined MittleEuropa and fucked up Japan, syndicalists got beat down pretty much everywhere.

I puppeted Turkey, backstabbed the Persians and puppeted them too. Then I backstabbed the Egyptians, annexed them along with Lybia and Sudan. Didn't form the Sharifian Caliphate. Puppeted Ethiopia and Somalia, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia, snatched up Oman and Yemen.

At that point I took a breather to modernise and develop. The Entente was struggling to put down the syndies in India, National France was looking weak, and they held rightfully Arab land. So I attacked in 1945. Rapidly took over National France thanks again to my cavalry. Annexed them, released Guinea. Then I turned to India. They were still struggling with the syndies, and slogging through all these poorly equipped men was more of a chore than anything. Divided up India, occasionally fucked up Canadian and Australian marines, but mostly turtelled up.

So now I turn to MittleEuropa, as there is still a lot of Muslim land to liberate from the European imperialists. But at this point, everything from Gibraltar to Seoul is part of the German alliance. Tried to think of a way to manage to do it, but I just can't. I don't have the strength, industrial capacity, tech, or navy to take on France, Germany, China, and Russia at the same time.

Here's a map I put together. I might try to get Indonesia from the Netherlands, who are completely neutral. But I don't know if they get an event to get help from Germany or something like that, and I don't have the navy to get all the way to the Netherlands to force them to give me Indonesia.

They had fun too, not always courtly and proper

Pics like this make me sad

what the fuck this made me laugh

Damn, and this was in the HOI4 version? If it is how can you tolerate such an inferior version at it's core because HOI4 is a shit game at it's core. I don't image that the devs of the mod have gone the extra mile and beyond and fixed HOI4's basic issues so that the game that their basing everything off isn't shit. I just reinstalled the Darkest Hour version, might give Spain or France or America a try.

I wish there was more literature from the Hungarian perspective in ww2.

Is that kid little Patrick?
