i am looking for resources on german and french trench systems (function, layout, diagrams, or ideally photographs containing different trench types, as well as individual components, e.g. dugouts). if anyone has anything of notability or knows where i could get detailed information, please let me know.
thanks!!
organizing resources and losing grip of reality
Babylon Berlin and German Expressionism
can't find this one book on any illegal website for pdfs and i'm spiralling rn
All Quiet on the Western Front, Italian lobby card (Fotobusta), Italian theatrican release 1956
if anyone out there is interested in me making more posts like the one on the yt channels and podcast, please do let me know whether that would be helpful in any way, and i will gladly share whatever i have in both german and english
i am also very much open to resource exchange of any kind on the following topics(not limited to, of course):
-imperial germany - main field (militaria, personally looking for stuff like medical reports regarding injuries and treatment of mental and physical illness, militarism)
-history of art (northern renaissance, mexican muralism, expressionism, new objectivity, propaganda art, totalitarian art)
-cold war era
-interwar period (prohibition, weimar republic)
-ww2 eastern front (german+soviet militaria)
(disclaimer: i have limited resources due to the fact that i have only been researching for about a year solid, but it took long enough to find what i have so i want to make it easier for anyone starting from 0 like i did)
hot researchers don't gatekeep so something i cannot recommend enough if your field is 19th - 20th century (first half) and especially imperial german militaria are these two channels: plw history and feldpost - beautifully presented content and a wide range of topics+additional english subtitles for those who don't speak german;
additionally, for those who do speak german, i would recommend the most recent episode of the "don't forget history" podcast, hosted by the lads from plw history - beautiful episode and a lovely insight into the reality of militarism and its ties to ptsd reception explained by the guest from feldpost.
