i just love the schmalturm. its angular pyramidical shape evokes the the type of gothic decadence you might want to see in a frankenstein movie. it's like they purposedly looked for a "bad guy" vibe to go along with their tanks.

>>64409915Gothic decadence is a turn of the century art movement you boring ass historylet. And it is being used correctly by OP, if a in a completely nonsensical way. There is no aesthetic hedonism implicit in this trapezoidal turret, no morbid eroticism in its unadorned slabs.

WIR SIND HART.
