Man, there’s something about the color balance and lighting that just screams Monty Python sketch to me.
It looks like a colorized classic sitcom.
I though it was a C&C red alert screenshot.
God damn it some necromancer needs to resurrect Westwood from death to get off their asses and make a new Tiberium Sun, Red Alert, and most importantly a new C&C Generals.
You actually cannot purchase C&C Generals, even if you wanted to. And no way to play multiplayer either if you pirated it.
You can get all the classic C&Cs on Steam and you can play a good chunk of them online using CNC online. I agree though, we need a new C&C Generals.
Tactical background
This is General major Freuding in the official Bundeswehr channel. This guy is a machine, it’s really interesting listening to his analyses. One of the top comments says something like “Kremlin is watching this rn to understand what the fuck is going on in Kursk”
I would be 0% surprised if someone there copies Germans off of YouTube for their official reports. More time to get hammered, am I right?
it’s not like they learned how to write reports; russian education has been shit for a few years now, hasn’t it?
Feuding is a great name for a general
Is this Nazi shit? I wanted to watch but it’s taken down. But it really has the vibe in the preview screenshot.
Nah, it’s the official Bundeswehr channel, like OP said. It’s the replacement Germans that are very sorry about that whole thing. Or at least very much supposed to be.
This wasn’t a bait-and-switch joke, haha, I just thought I should link the video we’re all talking about. TBH it won’t play for me, though.

I don’t think, I understand your comment. Is it calling out xenophobia? Is it itself a little xenophobic?
Help me out, pls
The Bundeswehr is the modern German army, and is not supposed to have Nazis in it. Unfortunately it does sometimes, and that’s caused some scandals when it has been revealed. On the whole modern Germans are (rightfully) sorry about the whole Nazi period.
It’s literally the video from the screenshot
His analysis is looking spot on.

Idk, that seems a bit too credible for me…
He said the F-16 isn’t a game changer, instantly non-credible. If you put a dying flower next to an F-16, it will bloom.
let me try this with a different faction. /S just in case…This looks like something out of Dr Strangelove or an early Bond film. If it weren’t for the modern bezel around the screen, I would not be able to tell the difference.
I misread bezel as Brezel, and couldn’t tell if you were making a German joke or if there was a hidden pretzel somewhere on the border
Comparing the art direction of a Bond film to Dr Strangelove, to the point you can’t tell the difference, is something I have never seen before.
That screen shot though. It took me a second to realize this wasn’t a Monty Python skit.

Berlin clean and beautiful? This must be some alternate history.
u/slaacaa, I don’t know what your intention is in posting this…creative writing… exercise, but this isn’t a community for posting fanfiction or historical fiction. You seem new to commenting at NCD, so I’d like to give you, @slaacaa@lemmy.world a moment to explain your point of view before taking any action as a mod. Could you add some context, is your post/story intended to be irony? Please respond publicly in this thread by tonight, that is 8-17. Thank you.

This is why Hexbear calls y’all Nazis, you realize.
Well, that and the paychecks from the Kremlin.
isn’t it making fun of Nazis?
It’s a short story about a Nazi soldier with a time machine stumbling on the Ukrainian advance and thinking, great, he finally gets to kill some more Slavs and win this time.
It’s just not a good look, and there wasn’t a hint of mockery unless you go five tiers deep in community meta irony poisoning that still just leaves you with a comment favorably comparing Ukrainians to Nazis.
oh, I read it as the stupid nazi being stupid and thinking Germany won. the punchline being that as soon as he goes into the train he’ll realize how wrong he is and have a breakdown.
You read it correctly but I’m hoping he rides the train with his newfound comrades. He doesn’t understand the language but he knows who they are fighting. He marvels at screens and drones as he makes it to the front line. Then dies valiantly fighting fascism.
I understand what you’re saying. Let’s give him/her until tonight to respond.
im pretty sure hexbear calls us nazis because they’re the nazis, but i’m banned from the only interesting sub on that instance so what do i know lmao.

Not doing the Nazi allegations any favors…
This image is giving me some real Command and Conquer vibes
Just waiting for Tanya to walk in from slightly off screen, reference 99 red balloons as she explains a new kind of attack drone swarm, and then tell us she’ll be in position, and she’s counting on us.
The camo background and index card are probably really helpful in the modern office combat environment.
Maybe the camo index card is a tablet?
This looks like it was filmed in the 40’s and only colorized in 2024.
That’s just what Germany looks like, same as everything being sepia in Mexico
Downfall (2024)
I somehow stumbled onto that video a couple days ago and watched it in amazement.
Oh. Oh no. Not again.
