Sorting, repairing and coloring historical images, reading lip language and dubbing, corresponding to the countdown of gunfire, and then matching the dictation of veterans with video clips, the huge workload and mismatched commercial value are compared. The group really has feelings and patterns.
Before the war, young people did not hesitate to lie about their age and they wanted to join the army and go to the front line. They even worried that they would not have the chance to be heroes if the war was over before they even reached the battlefield. Compared with the tragic war and the injustice after the war, it is really sad. At that time, no one seemed to have thought about the meaning, justice, and necessity of this war. Everyone was carried away by heroism and so-called patriotism.
During the war, stinking trenches, gangrene, covered with lice, rats eating dead bodies, drinking water from gasoline barrels, drinking water soaked in corpses and contracting dysentery, and not wearing a mask in two seconds will make people blind Poison gas, corpses everywhere, stumps and broken arms, the comrade who was talking a second ago was headshot, personally end the comrade who has been seriously injured and have no chance of life, let him free him early, step on the corpse of the comrade-in-arms and continue to charge, the cannonball may be at you at any time. Explosion around.
I saw an article saying why so many people died in World War I because the era of World War I happened just between ancient wars and modern wars. Tactically, it is the traditional cavalry and infantry assault style; technically, artillery, tanks, and gas bombs have appeared one after another. The poor soldiers became cannon fodder for later wars.
Coming home after the war, the veterans were unneeded, unemployed, and found no one understood what they were going through on the battlefield. The surviving veterans have endured so much pain and witnessed such a tragic death scene. The psychological and physical trauma they have suffered is incalculable.
The saddest thing is that the significance of this war is neither a just war against fascism nor a national war against aggression, but only because of the uneven distribution of spoils by imperialism and the disagreement among the leaders of several major powers. Before the declaration of war, the British and German civilians were still playing football games, and the prisoners of war also got along harmoniously with the soldiers because everyone really did not hate each other, and the fighting was just under the military.
More than 10 million people lost their lives, so many even for unknown reasons, and many young people's lives ended before they even started.
People must not live only one life.
I can only comfort myself like this.
