that king's mask looks extremely impractical and uncomfortable, is there any evidence that it has been used in battle? cause it would seem a bit more logical to me that it was just a gravegift like king tuts mask

>>34988

As a HEMA guy, that helmet doesn't look any less practical than a sallet and bevor in the 15th century. It would protect the fact, and that rendering seems to indicate that it gave you good range of vision. Most helmets are catch-22s anyway.

>>34988

Armor is always uncomfortable. On the other hand, if someone swings a sword at your face, you'll be stunned instead of murdered. There's tradeoffs. 'Course, having the visor look like your face is just 'cause it looks badass, a blank plate would work just as well.

>>36265

I think it's about the heat inside the helmet would limit your breathing. You're going to have to have it made for you specifically as well, otherwise it's going to be uncomfortable as fuck. Then you just have the problems with helmets restricting your vision and shit like that.

>>36234

I don't think Japan even had the capacity to produce those at a level that was needed.

Even if they could it would get BTFO by even mid war allied tanks, let alone late war pershings, jumbos etc.

Downfall would have been an absolute shitshow, the Atomic bombs saved more Japanese lives than they ended.

>>36244

I'm kinda "sad" it didn't happen though, less battles for the history books

It requires a lot of practice to learn the forms and ways in which they are used, especially when it comes to the subjunctive and the ways in which it is used. Vocabulary isn't too bad since you apparently know English.

>>36275

How did they teach the phonology?

>>36246

Well not all that much, they basically allowed train travel for the Nazis and then for Britain, they did not anger either and were pretty compliant.

>>36249

Didn't they also help mobilize troops to Finland in preparation to Operation Barbarossa?

If Hitler had waited until 1942 the Red Army would probably have both eclipsed the Wehrmacht and been staffed with competent officers sooner, making defeat for the Germans before 1945 more or less inevitable.

Maybe Canaris wasn't as much of a traitor then. But treason rests in the intentions, not the results.

Perhaps by that point formalizing an alliance with the Chinese would have been a more sensible option.

>delaying invading the USSR.

To be honest I think a more effective strategy would have been finding out a way to knock them out even faster, but I'm not sure that would have been possible. I suppose it depends how reliant the USSR was on central authorities — that is, whether cutting off the head would have rendered them a non-threat. I'm not sure this would have been possible.

Certainly the USSR would have been far easier to defeat without its food, raw materials, factories, clothes, engines, fuel, etc. but knocking them out is a tall order. Given its vastness I don't think knocking out its industry is a viable tactic. A more sensible one I think would have been spurring the anti-Soviet sentiment prevalent throughout Eastern Europe. In other words, I think the only way Germany wins WWII when the USSR exists is more manpower. If they got nationalists from Eastern Europe — most especially anti-Soviets within the USSR itself, perhaps wooing the military (if that's even possible post-purge) — I think defeating them mPost too long.

Very difficult to do this when we consider how different the ideologies between China and Germany was, this would have also had pissed off Japan to no end, though that might not have been a problem to be fair.

> If they got nationalists from Eastern Europe — most especially anti-Soviets within the USSR itself, perhaps wooing the military (if that's even possible post-purge) — I think defeating them may have been possible.

They did try this but they treated the Russian people like shit during the invasion so many actually fought with the USSR rather than the Nazis. Some did fight with the Nazis though.>Perhaps by that point formalizing an alliance with the Chinese would have been a more sensible option.

Sort of? While it's questionable whether or not the Nazis ever could've defeated the UK so long as they had the support of the US, they never stood a chance against the Soviets simply due to population differences. The Nazis did not have enough people to occupy all of that land. Access to Soviet oil would've been a huge boon to Rommel during the tank battles in North Africa, possibly enough to prevent the Axis defeats on that front. Now, the Soviets wouldn't have been especially capable of helping out with the invasion of the UK because neither their navy nor air force was all that much to write home about, but if the battle for North Africa went in favor of the Axis, it's questionable whether the allies ever could've done anything but stalemate on the western front.

On the other hand, the underdeveloped Soviet infrastructure in their far east makes it questionable how much pressure they could really put on the Chinese, and China was the Soviet Union of the Pacific front. Japan could never have beaten them because they didn't have enough people to occupy all of that land, especially not with Communist Party guerillas preventing them from every really controlling the territory that was nominally behind their front lines. The fact that the Soviet navy and air force aren't much to write home about would likewise mean that the entire Pacific front against the US would've gone pretty much exactly the same, so even if Japan hangs onto their Chinese holdings their homeland is still within nuking range of American bombers. Japan is going to lose the exact same way they lost historically.

But the underdeveloped infrastructure of eastern Russia cuts both ways. Just like the Soviets would have a hard time mobilizing enough troops to be a difference maker in the Chinese front (keep in mind that occupying China requires a fuckton of troops, so this isn't just a matter of getting an army in the area at all, but getting and supplying a fucknormously huge army for several years), the Americans would have a hard time mounting a respectable invasion through Siberia even if they captured all of China.

They didn't need to, they could've just sat up a puppet state in place, get their lebensbraum and leave the rest of russia to russian facist allies, same for China.

What's the matter gramps, can't read the spiritus asper?

>>36190

itsnot that i cant read it whatsoever, its just that i have to strain my eyes ever so slightly to determine for certian if its an acute, grave, rough, or smooth breathing mark. i should just be able to read it without having to look extra super duper hard at it, or changing my default font size to super-mega-ham size just to properly read this shit.

Yeah. I should just accept I'm bad at greentext stories.

>>33528

it's pretty bad

>>36147

You monster.

>>36178

Yeah, and it's gotten really annoying lately. /pol/ has become to /his/ what the Jews are to /pol/, that is to say a boogeyman. The difference is at least /pol/'s paranoia is funny to watch, whereas /his/ just comes across as having a giant stick shoved up it's collective ass.

>>36200

You misunderstand. I'm saying these days it's corrupt, which is how it got flooded with third worlders and other problems which then lead to most of them no longer doing well and increasing their crime rates.

>>36206

Or more to the point it's gotten much more corrupt, which didn't use to be the case.

>>36202

Yeah, it's a bit annoying really, any retarded or dissident opinion is a "/pol/" opinion, which is a bit silly. It is a minority though.

>>36206

Tell me more about how countries being corrupt has led to mass migration, that is a very… different opinion. Also, if you admit that European countries are corrupt and are not doing well economically then the point that European and Anglosphere countries are superior is irrelevant.

>>36080

He's referring to the migration era, I assume, in the waning days of the Western Roman Empire and the century or two after its collapse. Barbarians crossed the entire continent pillaging and raping as they went.

>>36122

So you're saying that the point of /pol/ is dishonest narrative-building. And this is supposed to make us like them more?

>>36167

It would have dissolved shortly after most likely anyway.

>>36167

You can't really go into this alternate history because the Ottoman Empire had been collapsing for over a century, there was very little way for it to stay stable.

>>36175

>>36168

But then at least the lands wouldnt be in control of Britain, which together with the US has done great contributions to the ME's instability and zealotry

>>36177

Instead you would have some further decades under a regim that had already been collapsing in upon itself for a good while. Cue different warlords taking control of the territory, and you more or less inevitably end up with the ME being just as fucked up as it is today, or the British taking over after which the ME also becomes just as fucked up as it is today.

>>36167

Well, yes, because if it didn't dissolve after WW1 that necessarily means that the descent into anarchy caused by its century-long collapse must have been halted. It's just that causation goes the other way. The Middle-East isn't better off because of the Ottoman Empire, it's just that the Middle-East being better off is a pre-requisite of the survival of the Ottoman Empire.

>>36146

Okay, I'm preparing for a shit storm but I you're looking for something that is entertaining while also giving some sort of historical context, Bernard Cornwell's novels are amazing.

>>36151

The Saxon Stories, right? I can work with that, but I was also hoping for just straight up informative books as well. Either way, thanks for pointing me in literally any kind of helpful direction, anon.
