"The German Army: A Glimpse into the World War Era" Step back in time to the tumultuous period of World War I (1914-1918), where soldiers and horses of the German army bravely donned gas masks, facing unimaginable challenges. Witness their unwavering determination as they navigate through the chaos. In Dresden, Germany, a Bo-105 liaison helicopter stands tall, a symbol of technological advancement amidst the ravages of war. Its presence reminds us that even in times of darkness, innovation can emerge. Travel further back to August 1914 and find yourself at Landrecies, witnessing The Coldstream Guards in action. This litho captures their courage and camaraderie as they stand united against adversity. Amidst these trying times, propaganda played its part. "To prevent this - buy War Savings Certificates now, " urges a colorful litho from 1918. It serves as a reminder that every contribution counts towards securing peace. The horrors faced by both sides are depicted vividly in illustrations like "Massacre at Dinant" (1918) and "Trench Strafing" (1934). These lithos offer glimpses into the harsh realities endured by soldiers on all fronts. Yet amidst the chaos, acts of compassion shine through. An engraving showcases a Cycle Ambulance used by the German Army to aid injured soldiers—a testament to humanity's resilience during wartime. However, not all interactions were marked by goodwill; looting became an unfortunate consequence when armies overstepped boundaries. From "The Illustrated War News" comes a poignant litho titled "Loot: what a German invasion means to civilians when Soldiers get out of hand. " It serves as a stark reminder that war affects not only combatants but also innocent bystanders caught in its crossfire. Delve deeper into history with an enchanting hand-colored copperplate engraving showcasing encampments of German and Roman armies.
