During WWI, Germany launches the first cargo submarine, the Deutschland.
It had no armaments but could carry up to 791 tons of cargo.
It made only two trips during the war but carried ~1,800 tons of cargo. #WW1 #History #HistoryMatters
At long last my 1914-15 German division is completed. Turner Miniatures 6mm, for games using @badsocialism.bsky.social excellent rules. Looking forward to seeing these in action vs my Russians.

To be fair, Amazon has sometimes made really good suggestions for me, although I like serendipity too. This book was an accidental find and really enjoyable. Light comedy but with good respresentation of the problems that technically-inclined women had after #WW1, which led to @wes1919.bsky.social
Kirkcudbright church. It is like a cathedral inside!
A lovely #WW1 carved war memorial

βAbstracted memoriesβ #art #digitalart #ww1

Knitted respirator
You think you are knitting #dishcloths.
I am here to tell you that you are ACTUALLY knitting replica facemasks (described as respirators!) from the Georgetown #WW1 munitions factory, near Glasgow.
Thousands of these were knitted by women in a single Scottish village.
