World War I Poster: How to Act during an Air Raid: https://markstoneman.com/2024/06/28/world-war-i.html #WarAndSociety #WWI #MilHist #homefront #HistoricalPosters #AirRaids #HistGermany

I watched "Hamburger Hill" (dir. John Irvin, 1987) for the first time this afternoon. A brutal and powerful film set in 1969 during the Vietnam War, it focuses on a single platoon in an infantry assault uphill against strong positions. It grapples with core socio-cultural themes from the time, while also using graphic violence to highlight aspects of combat still relevant today.
