Drip was crazy back then
What’s the hat that the man in a black coat is wearing? It has some kind of thing at the top?
“Where a goat can go, a man can go, and where a man can go, he can drag a gun.”
WWI warfare was horrendous. WWI alpine warfare was even worse.
More than a hundred years ago and even then on the wrong side.
Been recently to a remote “small” WWI cementary in South East Poland, near the boarder with Slovakia, some Russian graves, some German, few Hungarians and one Italian grave. I thought this soldier came all the way from Italy to find his demise in some remote forested hills of then norther Austro-Hungary
“Private Klobasa, can you get on with it?”
“Herr Hauptmann, I beg to report, the machine gun is aiming straight at the camera. Could you aim it a bit to your left?”

This is a repost from 2 years ago, if anyone is interested there are a lot of historical details in original post. Picture was taken on mount Čuklja above the town of Bovec in Slovenia. https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/s/bkDJyeWKsd
What is the deal with the ultra short sabre/sword with the bloke in the middle is sporting? I get that it is annoying to have the thing tangle in your legs as you skip from ledge to ledge but shortening your sword to this degree sees to negate the point of having it in the first place? Is it for show because you’re an officer and whatnot? Edit: not a basket hilt on closer inspection
Wow, this has to be the coolest photo I’ve ever seen
My ancestors beat these guys’ asses on these very mountains!
