The Attack of the Dead Men - a TRUE story!

The Attack of the Dead Men.

Thanks to my youngest son Rhys Oldham for bringing this horrific tale to my attention. The true story of ‘The Attack of the Dead Men’ – the name given to the Battle of Osoweic Fortress in WWI. They say that truth is often stranger – and worse – than fiction. This is one tale which definitely proves that.

In World War 1 an horrific battle took place for Osoweic Fortress, now northeastern Poland. The Russian soldiers were hit with deadly mixtures of poison gases, bromine and chlorine by the German forces, forcing them to cover their faces with cloths if they were to continue to fight back.

The advancing Germans, around 7,000 of them, did not expect any real resistance after the bombardment of chemicals. They underestimated the men they were fighting.

Surviving soldiers of the Russian 13th Company of the 226th Infantry Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Kotlinsky, counterattacked. The sight of oncoming Russian soldiers, coughing up blood and bits of their own lungs as the deadly mix of chemicals began to dissolve their flesh and organs, understandably horrified and frightened the Germans, prompting them to retreat. In their desperation to get away they became entangled in their own concertina wire traps, whereupon the five remaining Russian guns opened fire.

With the odds so overwhelmingly against the Russians though, they did not hold the area much longer. Instead, they demolished as much of the place as they were able before themselves retreating. Lieutenant Kotlinsky died later that evening, as I imagine many of those men died that day.

If there was ever to be a moral to a story such as this, I would suggest that it might be ‘never underestimate anyone, no matter how weak they may appear.’

History often gives us such lessons, though whether we learn from them is a debate for another time. Those poor souls, to have gone through such gruesome agonies. So much for ‘The War to End All Wars…’

There seems to be quite a lot on the web about The Attack of the Dead Men, including songs, videos and so on. Wikipedia, from which I have borrowed heavily, has a bit about it too, if you are interested to find out more.

A tale of brutal warfare, this also has an enigmatic appeal to it. No wonder it spurned imaginative recreations later on. I mean picture it, an actual zombie war, or close enough. I might return to this topic some time myself.

Amity Parkers in Gotham

Casper High students graduated. As much as they loved their town (which now included ghosts as recurring residents) they knew they had to go. Not because Phantom didn't do a good job, or that ghosts attacked daily (on the contrary, after Phantom's intervention the destruction became concentrated in the Infinite Realms), but they had to go to a university. That's why most of them applied to Gotham University, it seemed right.

Sure, Gotham wasn't as cool as Amity, nor did it include dimension travel to the Realm of the Dead (Amity Parkers had access to the Infinite Realms as long as they abided by Walker's rules), but they had a great scholarship program, and the city was so chaotic because of its heroes and villains that it felt...like home.

The problem was that no one taught Casper's ex-students some basics: Feeling afraid, avoiding your attackers, not attacking back. Things that seemed like common sense did not go through their heads. After years of dealing with ghost attacks they had gotten used to it, and knew how to counterattack.

So, after their arrival they were knocking out rogues, stopping robbery, and looking bored at the prospect of dying. That made Batman suspicious of a secret society of young soldiers, although it didn't really make much sense, was someone training teenagers? The batfamily was worried at the prospect.

At some point, there was even an "undead" attack in what was called the Justice League; Of course, the Amity Parkers were the first to establish a secure site and prevent the invasion from advancing. At the end everything seemed lost and the undead epidemic was about to spread out of Gotham, but Dash snorted and said that he would "contact a friend that can help", which raised the suspicions of the League.

Danny, who was taking a year off before starting his university studies, raised an eyebrow at the group he had with his old classmates. He shrugged before transforming into Phantom and going to the place, in a few minutes the invasion was over and Bruce was 90% sure that there was a secret society training a teenage army.
