 1915: A British firing squad readies to execute a German spy. OswaldTheOsprey I like the early war uniforms. Steel helmets weren't standard issue until 1916, I believe. Some of the outfits still had a little 19th century flair. |

As you probably noticed, I have a fascination with war but I do understand that it may appear obscene. |

 Nice color pic of Spanish Blue Division members. Some 13,000 Spaniards volunteered for service with the German army. They were renowned for their ferocity and fatalism. |
