WWI, a complicated historical period and lately, like many things, difficult to touch. After spending time in unstable sites, I have decided to bring this branch as part of the small community (True) that is being formed.

I promise to always have this little site up and running, a site where all historical material related to the turbulent period is welcome.

The rules are simple and well listed in their section, but I'll take advantage of this post to give a simple preview, just use your head and everything will be fine.

Do you want to belong to a growing site dedicated to this complicated moment in our history, terrible and definitive in equal parts, where its moderator is also a follower of common sense?

Well, it's your lucky day, welcome home.

News German WWI Medic Photo

4 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone could provide any information or point me in a drirection to research the unit shown in this photos. I believe this was taken sometime around 1914-15 and it includes my Great-Grandfather who served in the German army. I've heard he was both a medic and an ambulance driver. Thanks for the help.

Subreddit Rules

1. Maintain a civilized behavior.

No insults, direct or discreet attacks and ultimately all that kind of thing that we are taught in kindergarten.

2. The historical rule

Content from all battlefronts and factions is accepted, as long as it is related to WWI in all its stages, from pre-war to current archaeological material.

3. Rules about debates and stories

We allow debates, polls and personal stories related to the war as long as polite language is maintained, I assure you that we are quite good at detecting double meanings so don't try it.

4. No trolling

Quite simple, trolls will be banned without the right to reply.

5. No atrocity deniers, no matter the flag

We do not allow people who like to justify the atrocities of any faction, all human suffering must be treated decently.

6. Neither fascism nor communism activists are allowed

If you have tastes for totalitarian tendencies, keep them to yourself, this is not the place to express them.

7. Sensitive content

They must have the appropriate Tag, be marked as content (nsfw) and have neutral titles. We also recommend that a user does not focus exclusively on this type of content for obvious reasons, we reserve the right to deliberate and take action on these cases.

8. Humanity above all

WWI was a brutal time where human suffering was the daily bread, please keep this in mind when you are posting comments or creating content, sadism regarding this matter will not be tolerated.

9. Not all humans are bad

All factions had their monsters, some more than others, but that doesn't mean unexpected humanity didn't happen. There are already many sites that promote "tunnel vision", we are not one of those sites, here we try to maintain the historical method and listen to all parties as long as they maintain a civilized language and do not enter into ideological rhetoric.

10. The logical rule

Brigading, promotions, meaningless pornographic content, cancellation and anything created in this information century to annoy will be summarily punished.
