Someone is posting gore pictures in that thread, proceed with extreme caution. Like reall bad shit. I'll tell yo the context here so you don't have to go to the thread
Some Fash is alleging the flag picture was cropped and darkened bc one oft the Soviet soldiers had a "watch" on each wrist, proving that they were the badguys because they must have stolen the watch from a Nazi, which would be bad. This proves that communism doesn't work and the poor oppressed Germans were something something something fash noises.
The reply point out how fucking stupid that is.
Famously, soldiers have no use for time pieces, and keeping accurate time for strategies or anything especially back then in the analogue age.
Word. Afaik having an accurate time piece, at least for NCOs and officers, was literally life or death since they needed them to do any kind of coordination at a time when radios sucked or were rare and precious, or just couldn't keep up with an advance.
It wasn't until the post-911 Iraq-involved-war that generals stopped waiting for the enemy's army to show to shake hands and lay out the ground rules.
