World War One Discord Server

20 Upvotes

Hello r/TheGreatWarChannel!

I have created a Discord server dedicated to WW1. It has channels for discussing the war, sharing photographs of memorabilia, sharing photos of art, and WW1 education.

We are a small community but I have the drive and infrastructure to become much larger. Hopefully this server can become a bustling community for all WW1 enthusiasts and historians and you can all benefit from and enjoy it!

The German Soldiers Flask enigma

14 Upvotes

This flask that has been in my possession for many years and until now I have not been able to interpret the final clue to the secret it hides. It'is a Reservist Flask or as it was called in pre WW1 Germany a “Reservistenflasche**”** a highly decorative, souvenir canteen that was commissioned by soldiers in Imperial Germany to celebrate completing their mandatory active military service. The whole story of my research into this flask in in my video: https://youtu.be/Hnf7KI1urq4

I know, it’s still a long ways off(13 years); but has The Great War channel said anything about covering WW2 on a day by day basis?

The hotel was vandalised as a part of series of pogroms against Serbs following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hugarian throne the previous day. The pogroms would spread throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slavonia and Croatia and have state support. First chapter of this book has a more comprehensive overview of the events: https://a.co/d/0b5fMp7N

Finished this 54mm white metal WWI German infantryman charging with a bayonet and gas mask.

Tried to capture the mud, worn field gear, and the feeling of moving through no man's land.

C&C welcome.

[RED BRITAIN] What if Great Britain lost WW1 to the Germans and this defeat sparked a communist uprising against the Monarchy?

8 Upvotes

Red Britain is a short film based on an alternate timeline of the 1920’s where a protest gathers outside of Buckingham palace after the King was shot. Inside, at the death bed of the King, with the angry mob about to break in, the royals must decide whether to stay and die with the crown or flee and save their lives.
