Arise, O Great (War) Thread.
Does anyone have a compilation of @triggercut’s tome? I went looking for my copy this morning and it appears to have been lost to history.
I wrote a script that pulled all of @triggercut’s posts from this thread, and dumped them into a google doc. It’s published here:

It also includes some of his non-history replies though.
The formatting isn’t so great though.
This is kind of a fun Twitter account that “live tweets” WWII (starting in 1941), in case you haven’t seen it before:
Outstanding! Thank you good sir.
A Redditor put together this 7 minute video of what the Western Front looked like. For such a lengthy stalemate (except when it wasn’t), those minutes breezed by for me.
Edit: I guess the Redditor didn’t make it, the source video was posted 3 years ago here:
This is so great!
The music makes it.
That German song, Die Wacht am Rhein, is the one the nasty Germans try and sing in Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca, before being drowned out by the magnificent Marseillaise.
