https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_von_Mackensen
Attached File August von Mackensen Anton Ludwig Friedrich August Mackensen (6 December 1849 – 8 November 1945, ennobled as von Mackensen in 1899), was a German field marshal.[2] He commanded successfully during the First World War of 1914–1918 and became one of the German Empire's most prominent and competent military leaders. After the armistice of November 1918 the victorious Allies interned Mackensen in Serbia for a year. He retired from the army in 1920; in 1933 Hermann Göring made him a Prussian state councillor. During the Nazi era (1933–1945), Mackensen remained a committed monarchist and sometimes appeared at official functions in his First World War uniform. Senior NSDAP members suspected him of disloyalty to the Third Reich, but nothing was proven against him. View Quote |

It's possible that the Germans fielded more captured tanks than their own builds. There were only 20 A7V's.

View Quote I will try to find a picture, it was after the signing of the armistice, but you could see a line of tanks with the only thing German about them was the paint. There really was not a lot of tanks in use, and was it the British that ended up fielding the most? |

Probably very little recoil and super controllable. |

For the Fallen By Laurence Binyon With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres, There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England's foam. But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain; As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain.

While in the Sky The larks still bravely singing, fly Unheard, amid the guns below. We are the dead, Short days ago We lived, felt dawns, saw sunsets glow; Loved and were loved – but now we lie In Flanders Field Take up our quarrel with the foe! To you from falling hands we throw The torch, Be yours to bear it high! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep tho’ poppies blow In Flanders Field. |

the things they built for WW1 is simply fascinating; pushing the limits of
knowledge and technology of the time. this was done in every conflict, but the wow factor was just up there for WW1, IMHO. |

View Quote Agreed, we were still in the relatively early days of the industrial revolution then, and the detailed knowledge of machinery was growing daily. I have to wonder if what now sound like ridiculous claims for land speed of the battleships wasn't more the result of doing the simple math on the gearing (those huge wheels would mean a lot of speed if they were spinning at any decent rpm at all). It wouldn't surprise me if they were intended to turn at the same RPM as the existing shafts on the ships and someone didn't quite understand the HP requirements to move that huge weight at those speeds. |
