World War II

"La guerre apprend à tout perdre, et à devenir ce qu'on n'était pas" - Albert Camus. Ni politique, ni idéologique, juste des faits entre conflits, vie militaire et vie civile. Période couverte du traité de Versailles en 1919 à la création de la RFA en 1949. Battlefront et Homefront ! https://carbone14.tumblr.com/archive
