This scene helped me realize why so many came back with “shell shock” hearing the whistle knowing in an instant it could hit you.

[@frostyvr9805]

Actually when you heard the whistle it wasn’t going to hit you. When it was gonna land close it made a whooshing noise

​@@kobebarka8633 What "shell shock" was is what we refer to as PTSD today. If you were close enough to suffer from the blast pressure of an artillery round, theres a good chance youd just be dead.

[@jonathanmorin9519]

It was mostly Canadians fighting in Passchendaele but history doesn't give us our credit. The cruxification of a Canadian soldier only created anger and complete vengeance without mercy to the German empire and would be Nazi pieces of shit that would die in ww2 along with the Hitler's Youth because only a sad defeated nation would do that to its children and it's country's future. We Canadians are strong resiliant formidable souls no matter our population. Sparta only had about 30,000 men yet they stood savagely victorious.

[@sushiboo5352]

the crucifixion thing never happened tho, all the witnesses told different stories, and historians say what they saw was a body in a weird position that kinda looked like a crucified person from afar, but the entente used it as propaganda to show how "brutal" the germans were. I do think the central powers were a bit worse than the entente, in terms of the bad stuff they did, but american portrayal of the german empire is often exaggerated. they weren't the bad guys, no-one was. well, beisdes the ottoman empire. they were bad guys.

[@yeoldeyoungin9745]

The crucifixion was propaganda and the Canadian government officially apologized. This scene is a reference to the event only this time with the Germans sympathetic to the moment.

[@obviouspseudonym9345]

As a proud Canadian, I must disagree with most of your statement. The Nazis only rose to power because of our harsh treatment of them at the treaty in 1919. The true perpetrators of the war were either on our side, or their government had been disbanded. Everyone wanted someone to blame and Germany got picked. They didn't want the war any more than we did. People in Germany literally starved to death after the war due to the hyperinflation caused by the unfair treaties. A loaf of bread costing literally billions of reichsmarks. Can you blame them if a strong government that promised (and delivered mind you) better and stronger economy, better social programs, direction, and restoration of national pride, got elected? The Nazis didn't come out of thin air. They're as much Canada, Britain, and France's fault as they are Germany's.
