For me, it's Red Orchestra 2. Pure eastern front kino.

Apparently the Grain elevator map was based on a real site in Stalingrad

>Combat raged for three days at the giant grain elevator in the south of the city. About fifty Red Army defenders, cut off from resupply, held the position for five days and fought off ten different assaults before running out of ammunition and water. Only forty dead Soviet fighters were found, though the Germans had thought there were many more due to the intensity of resistance. The Soviets burned large amounts of grain during their retreat in order to deny the enemy food. Paulus chose the grain elevator and silos as the symbol of Stalingrad for a patch he was having designed to commemorate the battle after a German victory.

Should the Japanese apologize and pay reparations? Why they were not punished for the genocide of the Chinese as the Germans for the Holocaust?

Mine fought in the trenches against Germany on my Canadian side, while my Great grandfather fought for the Austro-Hungarian empire. In ww2, my uncle was a naval officer, while my grandfather was in the Canadian coast guard, watching for the Japanese.

medieval shields

No.5488980 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
what would have the common medieval warrior painted on his shield? spear and shield was the most common form of armament, so what would they have put on their shields? looking at some illuminations, the knights and royalty obviously have their own family crests but what about the commoner? if a group of soldiers were levied by the same noble, would they perhaps paint their lords crest?

in some later works it appears that the average soldier wears uniform designs, like in pic related, if someone knows of earlier illuminations, like during the first crusades, or the time of Charlemagne that show the shield designs of common soldiers please post
