That flag was a navy flag. I'm not sure if spiked helmet of the German army and navy flag fit that well together.
The US also fought against that country among other reasons because said German navy sank a ship with 1200 passengers, including 128 US-Americans.
Judging from the use of the word "lads" I think any usa-centric deconstruction is probably culturally tangential
Commonwealth context would be even worse. First World War was nuts.
Confirming kiwi lads got gassed to fuck and thrown at machine guns by the ruling class. Source, 3 out of 4 of my great grandads.
I remember Adam Carrolla once said he wanted to hire a dwarf to wear one of those helmets and to stand between his legs and to have the dwarf tippy-toe right at the moment Adam orgasmed in order to stop him from ejaculating. I just thought you'd all like to know that.
No thank you, I didnt like to know that. Sorry for the misunderstanding and have a nice day
…what.
I didn't need or want to know that. Go back in time and stop yourself from sharing.
Literally right place wrong time
