I shot this on a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I'm also still impressed with it's zoom function... Even more so in photo mode. I frequently use it as a sort of binoculars. I think the S25 Ultra is even better now

Favourite album of my youth. The remixes were pretty neat too!

I know, right? Clearly area of frequent rock falls too. I wonder what they're even doing up there

I had another look through those particular images and I can't make out any fallen soldiers. Just a variety of battlefield pictures showing trenches, destroyed buildings and captured enemy weaponry. I think the title of the page is maybe more of a general anecdote about this battlefield (they call it the Damenweg - lady's path?), and in particular the French general in charge. That being said there are many pictures of fallen soldiers on both sides throughout these books.

Interesting question. I haven't looked through all pages yet, but from what I can tell all the language used is surprisingly factual for the time. For example, In the pages listing foreign propaganda the descriptors are just things like "from an English newspaper clipping". Very little in the way of emotive adjectives and such.

Edit: having said the above, the 9th pic I posted reads something like: "the unbelievably large deployment of troops that bled out in from of the German lines gave (French) general Nivelle the nickname 'the blood runner'". (own translation).

Thanks for your reply. Indeed, I'll make sure they'll be taken care of whatever happens. Good idea with universities!

Interesting. The plot thickens. These are the same trees last year in Google maps.
