When the First World War broke out in 1914, Adolf H"tler enthusiastically volunteered to join the German army.
He was assigned to the ground troops on the Western Front. As a messenger, he delivered messages from the army command to the front.
In December 1914, he is awarded the Iron Cross II Class for his bravery. In a letter to his former landlord, he writes: "It was the happiest day of my life."
Among other things, the he was considered an "eccentric", whose only friend was his dog, a white terrier with a black left ear. He came to him in mid-March 1915, probably from a British trench. He christened him "Foxl" and looked after him for two years.
According to the impression of a fellow soldier, he was more interested in animals than the men in his small group of messengers. He also received no letters from home.
Another picture with Foxl was taken at the beginning of July 1917, but three weeks later the animal suddenly disappeared. The animal may have been stolen by an employee of the railroad. In any case, this was a great personal loss for him.
The question of what reputation he enjoyed in the army is answered differently in research. He is described as an antisocial eccentric - but also as an impeccable comrade. It is documented that some called him the “spinnerten Österreicher” ("crazy Austrian"). He was opinionated and argumentative, as his temporary superior Wilhelm Dieß later recounted. He was a law professor and one of the most important Bavarian storytellers of the 20th century.
When Germany lost the war in November 1918, he was in a military hospital. He was temporarily blinded by a poison gas attack. The news of Germany's surrender plunged him into a deep crisis. His war experiences had a great influence on his life and thinking. Under the impression of the lost war, he becomes radicalized and politically active.

‘Come and See’ (1985) I drew this last year but was too insecure to post it because I didn’t think it was a ‘polished’ enough piece. I made this with an ink pen and Crayola crayons 🖍️ and it’s one of the pieces I am still proud of to this day. This is my take on a poster for the film of the same name, which is an anti-war horror film. It is a heartbreaking film but I think it’s a necessary watch for anyone looking for something realistic and harrowing to watch.

One thing that I didn’t appreciate about “Starship Troopers” as a kid was how they portrayed the battles. I thought it was just bad writing at the time. Now, I can see it for the brilliant satire that it is. You have this nation that is always projecting military strength and showing off their weaponry and soldiers. But then you watch the actual battle and the troops are:
1) ill-equipped to the point that it takes multiple soldiers to take down one bug since their rifles do little damage on their own
2) are in a battlefield without armored vehicles or air support
3) given no strategy besides shoot everything that isn’t human
4) gullible and consumed so much propaganda to the point that they legitimately believed the bugs were stupid and easy to destroy
5) developed an irrational, xenophobic hatred of all bugs because of the aforementioned propaganda
And instead of switching up the tactics, the Federation just keeps on sending meat wave after meat wave. The humans only “won” because they finally overwhelmed the bugs. Before then, they were getting slaughtered left and right. It’s like a dumb, Michael Bay sci-fi version of “All Quiet on the Western Front”.
