Is the pickelhaube the most iconic piece of equipment from WWI?
Maybe
>>64624606In terms of uniform, absolutely. But in all definitions of 'equipment', I think Biplanes might just slightly beat them out.
maxim guns and their derivatives
I hate that I can remember OP probably making the exact same dumb thread 6 months ago
>>64624628Artillery was more influential and biplanes were more iconic. No era before or after WW1 had anything like biplane battles.
>>64624606It had existed for too long, in enough different countries that it's just not a marvel thing during WWI.I'd consider the three main steel helmets of the war to be more ubiquitous and lasting.>Adrian helmet>Brodie helmet>StahlhelmAll appeared during WWI, and all lasted and influenced for a long time
>>64624676I don't know what weird form of validation faggots like that are looking for. Sort of like how we have two fucking threads about hammers as personal defense. Schizo anons want to turn the whole fucking board into their personal soapbox
>>64624676You're noticing AI-generated threads, some even recycle the file and text exactly. They've become several times more common in the last four years and few users notice because this board is inundated with retarded newfags who haven't been here long enough to notice the pattern. Just report them and move on.
>>64624924>Just report them and move on.Not a single thread I've reported has ever been taken down. Yet at least half the threads on this board at any given time actually belong on /pol/. I love geopolitics, but geopolitics is NOT /k/
>>64624621Whole lot of new technology and industrial process, things like aircraft and british tanks basically turned victorian era reality out on its ear about how wars would be fought for the next century.I think the most impactful for the whole war might be the industrial era of artillery pieces and ammo production at least on the western front
how many pickle helmets have you seen on frozen pizza boxes?
