YES and YES! I love it
I'm passionate about old pictures and the history behind them.
I recommend the book The colour of time written by /u/marinamaral it is a beautiful book in the similar tone.
For anyone out there, whether you want super in-depth hardcore information, or just quick overviews, here are my recommended books, shows, wikis, and videos for learning about this awe-inspiring war:
Personally, I have read or seen all of these except The Guns of August, The First World War and Apocalypse WW1, but I trust that everyone of these should be good and informative! Enjoy!
(I will be posting this on multiple threads for your pleasure! If you guys get annoyed by it, just let me know!)
It’s a pretty broad statement but I’d be happy to share my reasoning.
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/feb/17/johnezard
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Wehrmacht

https://www.timesofisrael.com/what-did-germans-know-secret-anti-nazi-diary-gives-voice-to-man-in-the-street/
The last one is pretty important because it’s an example of the exception to the rule, a German who was disgusted by what his countrymen allowed.
You also have to remember that complicity isn’t all equal. I’m not saying all germans were killers or even necessarily active in their antisemitism. The holocaust led to the coining of the phrase “the banality of evil.”
I could tell you that the fact that Hitler was elected into power or that millions joined his party was enough. I could tell you that the fact that so few fought back within Germany is evidence. But really all that it took was for the majority to simply allow and accept if not condone the mass atrocities.
I’ll leave you with this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Men-Reserve-Battalion-Solution/dp/0060995068
This is perhaps the most damning evidence we have that the average German knew enough to know what was happening, and that it was overwhelmingly accepted by them.
There’s also this:
https://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-Willing-Executioners-Ordinary-Holocaust/dp/0679772685
I believe that his thesis that antisemitism was uniquely German is flawed but his arguments and evidence for an existence of virulent antisemitism embedded in the German national identity is pretty clear.
Edit: this article is also pretty interesting. https://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/aug/28/curt-schilling/schilling-throws-wild-pitch-nazi-stat/
I finally have time to upload a bunch of pictures from Paris's Musee d'armee.
For some reason, the camera took terrible pictures indoors. Suffice to say, I got a new camera after this trip.
I studied history in college and found this book to be the best resource on WW1.. A World Undone by GJ Meyer. Easy to read and isn't dull like some history books can be.
Go forth my friend and enjoy this journey.

Matimio needs to learn some history about the tanks in WW1.
This book perhaps:
https://www.amazon.com/Great-Book-Tanks-Important-Present/dp/0760314756
There are many others.
The WW1 ones were quite ineffective, and could only make a substantial difference if used in coordination and with fairly large numbers of tanks and infantry. Something the Germans quickly understood for their future development of the Blitzkrieg doctrine.
The germans werent afraid of them after the initial experience, their drawbacks were numerous and their advantages could be counted on one hand. Well placed artillery and grenades took them out fast.
Matimio is like ''omg you guys the first tanks drove fear into the enemy yea they should feel and be OP because tanks!!''.
Well no, that's not how it works.
The logic of "its supposed to be powerful because its a tank" is ridiculous when you talk about a game environment that intricately tries to balance infantry weapons, but then, according to Matimio's logic suddenly turns a blind eye to the vehicles in order to make them powerful and overpowered and whatnot ''because they are tanks''.
But tanks should be balanced, not overpowered in that sense. I hope DICE put enough counters on the map in the form of bombers or heavy artillery -not the stationary always-spawned-in-the-same-place AT guns that will be useless against competent tankers- or something to take camping tanks out, as infantry cant close the gap and the AT rifles are not damaging enough on large distances.
The First World War by John Keegan is a really excellent overview of the war that's a really great read in its own right.
All the triggered people can buy these while the rest of us are enjoying another fun Battlefield game
I only paid 100$ for my audio setup. Fact is if you are using shotty computer speakers/tv speakers you won't hear footstep. Nor should you.

This is the book I read, I just went to my library and browsed the WWI section and looked for something on the topic that I might like to read.
If he's at all sentimental this is what I got my dad.
I think that are WW1 soldiers. Or maybe Reichswehr, or very early Wehrmacht. They wear the bigger older helmets
Also they are on parade, so they look too uniform, for gameplay reasons a bit of individualisation has to happen. But thats not a problem, you can do that authentically. Just read a book like this one:

You are right, everyone here should read Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich https://www.amazon.com/Blitzed-Drugs-Third-Norman-Ohler/dp/1328663795
I'm currently reading a book on the Somme (The Somme by Martin Gilbert). I happened to get to the part about 9/15/1916 and the use of tanks on 9/15/2016...
Hey look at this book about female british SOE fighters in occupied France.
