fervent geode
#

shadow plover
#

I've been inside a T-26

crystal forum
#

i love the T-26 so much

hollow lantern
#

iirc you can run one

crystal forum
#

it's such a nifty tank

vagrant fox
#

destroy all T-26s the only good one is a wrecked one

fervent geode
#

the 8th route army which was most PLA iirc were a guerilla force

crystal forum
fervent geode
#

tbh the best shit we had was prob the stolen otsus and type 89s

hollow lantern
#

nothing i love more than removing 400 point tank with an 85 point option tbh

crystal forum
#

idk USSR still wanted it so im guessing it has some value

fervent geode
#

strategic value

crystal forum
#

russia is so weird like it's 90% worthless land

shadow plover
#

mostly that, access to the baltic sea

fervent geode
#

like defensive positions for leningrad/ petrograd

arctic talon
#

you can steal the type 89 from the japanese

fervent geode
#

if not the finns could walk into winter palace

shadow plover
#

not giving us access to the arctic sea

arctic talon

its like awful

but like

#

hey you can run it if you want to

fervent geode
#

its a tank

crystal forum
#

did they just want to integrate all of finland

shadow plover
#

it's a good trading route and depriving us of it did some damage I reckon

crystal forum
#

but finland was some tiny country

fervent geode
#

they wanted easier passage to murmansk iirc but i think the finn would know better

crystal forum
#

economy wise

#

why bother

fervent geode
#

a tiny anti communist country

#

on the doorstep

crystal forum
#

was it anti communist

fervent geode
#

very

#

they had a civil war to out the commies in 1919 iirc

crystal forum
#

ah

fervent geode
#

and mannerheim the leader was a nobleman and shit, so not very communist friendly

winged jacinth
#

Finland and russia have old history

fervent geode
#

so yeah scary for senor stalin

hollow lantern
#

Germany could've picked up a lot of russian anti communists if they weren't deeply racist against Slavic people iirc

fervent geode
#

they did regardless funnily enough

#

there were galician, belarusian and even russian ss detachments

hollow lantern
#

That i did know

#

Cause of ba actually

winged jacinth
#

If germany wasnt run by insane genocidal people they'd probably have had more friends yeah

hollow lantern
#

You can run foreign SS units

fervent geode
#

defectors from the red army and local police, exiles and emigres, disgruntled mofos and racists

hollow lantern
#

Like french, russian, and a few others

crystal forum
#

funny thing is foreign SS were conscripted and forced sometimes

#

so a lot of them didnt get trialed afterwards

fervent geode
#

ye lmao, the ss for a xenophobic ass group were kinda multinational;

fervent geode
#

they didnt give a shit about nazism just hated soviets

#

and they didnt have a high chance of beating up the nazi convicts lmao

crystal forum
#

also contributes to bad combat performance of SS when a bunch of them were press ganged foreigners

fervent geode
#

defo

#

turkestan ss comes to mind

arctic talon
fervent geode
#

they were idiotically inefficient

vagrant fox
#

but something something albert speer

winged jacinth
crystal forum
#

i still dont get why SS are seen as this cool special forces elite unit by some people

fervent geode
#

speer was dumbass, hindenburg and the junkers shouldve ousted him from the beginning if they were any smarter

crystal forum
#

like yeah they were fanatical but not some elite super unit

fervent geode
#

there were good foreign ss who were volunteers and shit, but yeah most were ass

crystal forum
#

and they got good gear

#

but that doesnt make them elite

winged jacinth
#

I thought the SS were extra armed police mostly

crystal forum
#

just well supplied

crystal forum
fervent geode
#

the only ss commander who had actual officer training was like Paul Hausser or smth

fervent geode
winged jacinth
fervent geode
#

they were a gang of fanatical murderers and killers, not really good soldier material compared to actual military formations

vagrant fox
opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

depends which point in the war

winged jacinth
#

The SS got caught up in the central leadership madness as i understand it, including the mysticism and shit lol

fervent geode
fervent geode
#

there were absolute nutjobs

jade holly
#

Yeah wasn’t WW2 Germany mainly split between the SS and the Wehrmacht?

crystal forum
fervent geode
#

and more punch clock but equally evil fellas

jade holly
#

In terms of military

fervent geode
winged jacinth
#

WE GOTTA HELP HIMMLER FIND THE ANCIENT ALIEN TOMBS!

opaque coyote
crystal forum
#

SS was tiny compared to the werhmarcht

jade holly
fervent geode
#

the waffen ss were more special fanatic nutcase forces (meh soldiers at best usually)

winged jacinth
fervent geode
#

dont be a failed chicken farmer

jade holly
opaque coyote
#

That's

#

That's it honestly

fervent geode
crystal forum
#

i think the thing that helped the SS is that the got the best gear

winged jacinth
#

Extra willing to shoot civilians

fervent geode
#

the ss were ass, wehrmacht just got less of it

#

since the ss were closer to the political heart of the reich

crystal forum
#

didn't hitler specifically give the SS the best stuff

fervent geode
#

yeah

#

kinda

opaque coyote
fervent geode
#

oh yeah

opaque coyote
#

But yeah majority was just the same stuff

#

Just better quality than the Wehrmacht

fervent geode
#

the idiots who bungled crete iirc, or was that just normal fallschirmjagers?

opaque coyote
#

And then the "People's Storm" got what was left

crystal forum
opaque coyote
#

Those poor bastards

fervent geode
#

volkssturm (aka send a bunch of kids, women and oldies to die)

jade holly
#

There’s one guy in the Wehrmacht I’m still trying to figure out in terms of how he viewed Germany as a whole: Rommel. I thought I knew what he was about but recent stuff got me confused again

fervent geode
crystal forum
#

germany didnt use paratroopers often but barely any power did

opaque coyote
fervent geode
crystal forum
#

when you think about it paratroopers are a very niche use

fervent geode
#

he was willing to serve whoever was in charge

crystal forum
#

america only got to use them like once

fervent geode
#

does that absolve him of guilt, well fuck no

#

but he wasnt one of the nutcases or ss men for what counts

crystal forum
#

which makes you wonder why america still trains paratroopers

#

as if normandy will happen again

fervent geode
#

in the end he took cyanide because he was caught saying he would serve a german government without hitler after the failed coup

winged jacinth
jade holly
jade holly
#

Ah

fervent geode
#

the coup was organised and he simply said ïll keep working, dgaf about regime change

crystal forum
fervent geode
#

he killed himself so his fam would be spared iirc

jade holly
#

I knew that part

fervent geode
#

what little honour of the old reichswehr remained died with him and von tresckow imo

#

stained and shattered and ruined by their cowardice

crystal forum
#

and like, america will never need to deploy paratroopers in the modern age realistically

#

so why tf are they still there

winged jacinth
fervent geode
#

but it was laid to rest after the failed coup

jade holly
fervent geode
#

not really

crystal forum
fervent geode
crystal forum
#

especially since you need total air superiority to do paratroopers

#

not supremacy but close to it

jade holly
#

Not to mention how fucking risky a paratrooper deployment is

#

But that was already mentioned earlier

winged jacinth
#

America trains paratroopers because our army is largely designed to punch down lol

fervent geode
#

arnheim was a shithsow showing how bad it goes if you cock it up

#

so very bad\

winged jacinth
#

They make a lot more sense when you don't take the enemy seriously

jade holly
#

Stuck behind enemy lines with no help, no communication

opaque coyote
jade holly
#

No way out

fervent geode
#

ur fucked basically

crystal forum
winged jacinth
crystal forum
#

especially when your opponent can't fight back

opaque coyote
fervent geode
#

ironically after normandy and arnheim most para was used as regular infantry

opaque coyote
#

So... a majority of our troubles

fervent geode
#

iirc its happening to the vdv in ukraine too

crystal forum
#

special forces are like modern paratroopers in a sense. they do it better even

fervent geode
crystal forum
#

they get deployed with helicopters and shit

crisp heath
crystal forum
#

and they do a much better job at being independent

fervent geode
#

alot of para fought at the bulge/ardennes, with no para involved

crystal forum
#

yeah after normandy america's paratroopers just became normal troops lol

jade holly
winged jacinth
#

There's tradeoffs with helicopter deployment but yeah they're generally superior for anything you'd use paratroopers for because they come with CAS

fervent geode
jade holly
#

Ah

#

My WW2 knowledge is rusty

fervent geode
#

hitler wanted to try to pull another encirclement because he was fucked

crystal forum
fervent geode
#

alot of high command said herr fuhrer u jackass iirc but he did it anyway

winged jacinth
#

And you can just train your helicopter special forces to also do jumps if you need it

fervent geode
#

so yeah bulge happened, it went ok at first and it backfired later on

jade holly
#

Wait until jetpacks becomes a common tool

crystal forum
#

special forces can be deployed quickly without needing like 500 people parashooting in the open air

jade holly
#

Then that’s when the paratroopers get funky

winged jacinth
#

Like i think SEALs get HALO jump trained?

crystal forum
#

and special forces can blend in with local populations and shit

fervent geode
crystal forum
jade holly
#

So basically paratroopers of old were meant to be stealth operatives dropped in way in advance

fervent geode
#

its free food

crystal forum
#

blown up by FPV drone as you're falling

fervent geode
jade holly
#

Is it a war crime to shoot someone who’s deployed a parachute?

crystal forum
#

no

fervent geode
crystal forum
#

why would it be

#

it's an active combatant

jade holly
#

I honestly thought it was

heady rivet
fervent geode
#

technically at least

#

but yeah different story for flyboys

arctic talon
arctic talon
#

the same way shooting at someone whos retreating is allowed

#

if they have not surrendered they're a viable target

jade holly
#

But if they surrender then it’s a no no

arctic talon
#

same reason as why civllians in military instalations is also

#

A-okay

#

they're a valid target

crystal forum
#

rules of war are mostly about non combatants

jade holly
#

What about medics

arctic talon
#

yeah

#

Medics are not allowed bcs they're non combatants

crystal forum
#

medics are complicated in the modern day

arctic talon
#

but uh

crystal forum
#

because they often have guns

arctic talon
#

yeah that 💀

#

medics often are armed nowadays

#

used to be in the past they were always unarmed but uh

#

yeah

crystal forum
#

and they dont signal the fact that they're medics because you get sniped that way

jade holly
#

I guess it’s don’t shoot a medic unless they shoot you

#

Or something

fervent geode
#

thats usually the drill

#

but not in practice afaik

opaque coyote
fervent geode
#

because they will use those guns

arctic talon
#

there's a lot of things that get labled as "warcrimes" by news

#

that aren't warcrimes

crystal forum
#

also war crimes dont mean anything unless they're actually enforced, like real laws

arctic talon
#

despite being like

#

yeah that also

crystal forum

a lot of war laws are just ignored when convenient

crystal forum

it's also not a nuclear weapon

arctic talon

Ukraine has done warcrimes regarding drone stuff/non combatants 💀 but like

they're just war criming each other

do we count the Mexican drug war as an active war 💀

arctic talon
#

between the Mexican and other gov. vs the cartels

fervent geode

then we'd have to count all drug wars

arctic talon

I know the current mexican president is softer on the cartels

crystal forum
#

as if the gov isn't in on it

fervent geode
#

which there are many

#

they coexist in a corrupt symbiosis

i don't count it as a war because it's not an actual nation fighting another one

It's like working in late stage capitalism.

Every action you take to enrich yourself indirectly enriches another person who's even higher on the totem pole.

With increasing paranoia as you climb up the ladder. As more and more people thirst over your position of power.
