Anniversary of the fall of Königsberg. >Re image 2: POV, you just woke up. The anniversary was actually April 9th, but Tuesdays are so chaotic for me I didn't get around to posting. Now would be a good time for you to go and research the history of the city and it's destruction. The subject of Königsberg should not be used to stoke division, it is the tragic, shared legacy of many European peoples, may we hold hands and morn losses on all sides.
Description of Image 1: Three Prussian Officer Cadets and a junior Lieutenant gather outside of Königsberg Castle, wearing walking out dress, in April 1908. Characters are from my pre-wwi Prussian Officer Cadet drama, Moth. Their names from left to right: Vincent Odinkirk, Leon von Zelewski, Siegfried Isenstein, Gottlieb Witt. Description of Image 2: The same view of the castle, but in April 1945. Three crosses represent the deaths of the comrades in the first image. A Soviet has crawled out from a burning tank and is screaming to be put out of his misery. The Script of Moth, to which these Illustrations relate, does not continue beyond the 1920's. And so, this is likely to be my first and last piece of wwii art. The two images are 37 years and 2 world wars apart, but the castle and the surviving German officer, are meant to lend permanence to the composition. This is the destruction of his home.

🇩🇪Deutsches Militär🇩🇪: A German military lookbook
Tumblr media
The uniforms of the German army have undergone significant changes from the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-1871 to the present day:
Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871): During this conflict, German soldiers wore distinctive Prussian-style uniforms, characterized by the iconic Pickelhaube (spiked helmet) made of leather or metal, and blue coats for infantry.
Imperial Germany (1871-1918): In the era of the German Empire, uniforms evolved to include the iconic "feldgrau" (field gray) color for tunics and trousers. The Pickelhaube was gradually replaced by the Stahlhelm (steel helmet) in the later stages of World War I.
Nazi Germany (1933-1945): Nazi Germany continued with the field gray uniforms and introduced various changes, including the black SS uniform and the distinctive brown uniforms for the SA (Sturmabteilung).
Contemporary German Uniforms: Present-day German military uniforms are functional, practical, and designed for various combat scenarios. They include the Flecktarn camouflage for woodland environments and Tropentarn for desert regions. The standard combat uniform also includes body armor and a Kevlar helmet.

Practicing my Aubrey Beardsley inspired black and white art. Caption reads 'Two Totenkopf Warriors in Dei Rominter Heide.'
These two are not romantically involved in cannon, context is they tripped XD. The intimacy may be metaphorical for their shared fate and unification in death.
