NAZIONI

La nazione è una collettività che si ritiene compiuta da esseri umani sicuri di possedere un destino comune, consapevole della propria diversità rispetto alle altre, intenta ad affermarsi nei confronti di queste. La genesi di ogni nazione si compie in tre fasi, con l'affermazione violenta di uno specifico ceppo sugli altri, a cui segue la fusione con gli sconfitti, fino a produrre una comunanza di matrice sentimentale. Col tempo tale forzosa unione produce appartenenza.

L'Italia contemporanea nacque con l'affermazione della fazione sabaudo-sarda sul resto della penisola. Sforzo che a metà dell'Ottocento incontrò notevole resistenza nel Mezzogiorno, espressa attraverso il brigantaggio, rivolta popolare rubricata nella nostra pedagogia a semplice criminalità. Erano per due terzi italiani e soldati pontifici che nel 1867 difesero il Lazio dai piemontesi, addirittura erano tutti italiani i seimila incaricati di proteggere Roma. Dopo l'unità, la monarchia savoiarda confermò il fiorentino come lingua nazionale, lasciando che idiomi altrettanto sofisticati, dal napoletano al siciliano, scadessero a dialetto. Segnale di un impianto antropologico superiore.

Negli Stati Uniti fu necessaria una guerra civile (1861-1865) per selezionare il canone nazionale, con la vittoria dell'approccio nordista (yankee), puritano, calvinista, sull'alternativa sudista (dixie), episcopaliana, catto-anglicana. In termini numerici, la guerra con più morti statunitensi tra quelle combattute dalla attuale potenza. Successivamente il gruppo anglosassone fu scalzato da milioni di tedeschi che emigrarono nel Nuovo Mondo, specie nel Midwest, processo stretto tra la crescita demografica degli immigrati e la resistenza anglo. Ancora all'alba del secolo i Deutschamerikaner si tenevano a distanza dal resto della popolazione. Si iscrivevano alle Vereine (le associazioni culturali legate alla madrepatria), le chiese sassoni erano sguarnite di anglo, mentre i giovani di Indianapolis intonavano l'inno nazionale tedesco. Affinché perdessero ogni alterità culturale, tra al Prima e la Seconda guerra mondiale furono creati negli Stati Uniti numerosi campi di rastrellamento per i tedeschi. Tra il 1917 e il 1918 oltre duemila furono imprigionati nei centri di Fort Douglas, nello Utah e Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia. Per sfuggire alla discriminazione e ai linciaggi, migliaia di loro anglicizzarono il cognome: Schmidt, Schneider o Muller divennero Smith, Taylor e Miller. I tedeschi riemersero dalle guerre perfettamente americanizzati, in numero nettamente superiore al resto e costrinsero i concittadini di origine britannica a rinunciare alla pretesa di massima autorità e ad accoglierli nel vertice della nazione.

Oggi circa cento milioni di americani su trecentoventi milioni dichiarano almeno un antenato teutonico, molto più di irlandesi, inglesi, messicani, italiani, polacchi. E lo standard nazionale resta germanico (teutonico). Donald Trump (vero nome Trumpf) si percepisce portabandiera del sentire WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) dopo che suo padre, tedesco del Parlamento bavarese, si finse svedese per sfuggire all'internamento in un campo di rieducazione.

Hotel New York. (Voormalig hoofdkantoor van de Holland Amerika lijn)

Het Hotel New York op de Wilhelminapier in Rotterdam is een hotel, gevestigd in het voormalige directiegebouw van de Holland-Amerika Lijn (H.A.L.). Het hotel werd geopend in 1993.

Ten tijde van de opening was het de eerste nieuwe onderneming die zich, gedurfd, vestigde op de Kop van Zuid, de centrumuitbreiding op de zuidoever van de Maas. Pas toen de Erasmusbrug in 1996 geopend werd, kreeg het hotel een korte verbinding met de binnenstad. Wel is het hotel sinds de opening een station voor een reguliere watertaxi. Sinds 1997 is er ook een metrostation in de buurt, station Wilhelminaplein.

In 1620 vertrokken (vluchtten) de Pilgrim Fathers vanuit Delfshaven naar Amerika. Daarna reisde een steeds grotere groep landverhuizers en gelukzoekers via Rotterdam naar Amerika. In 1873 werd de NASM opgericht (welke op ongeveer dezelfde plaats van het latere directiegebouw en huidige hotel al eerder een hotel met de naam Hotel New:York had gevestigd[1]), in 1896 officieel Holland-Amerika Lijn genoemd. Tot de eeuwwisseling van 1900 werden ongeveer een half miljoen mensen overgezet. Op 8 november 1971 voer de Nieuw Amsterdam II als laatste uit vanaf de pier, daarna verdween de H.A.L. uit Rotterdam, en uit New York.

In de periode 1901-1917 werd het directiegebouw gebouwd op de Wilhelminapier door de architecten Muller, Droogleever Fortuyn en Van der Tak. Het massieve blok werd enigszins verluchtigd met jugendstilornamenten en, wat later, de twee bescheiden maar karakteristieke torentjes. Het gebouw heeft de status van rijksmonument.

Het hotel werd geopend toen voor de Kop van Zuid, en dus ook de Wilhelminapier, vooral plannen bestonden. De pier was zeer slecht bereikbaar, althans, via een grote omweg en in een verlaten havengebied. Wel voer vanaf het begin een watertaxi een lijndienst tussen noord- en zuidoever van de Maas. Pas toen in 1996 de Erasmusbrug werd geopend, was de Wilhelminapier voor wielvervoer aangesloten op het centrum. Op dat moment waren ook andere nieuwe gebouwen in gebruik genomen op Zuid. Op dit moment is het hotel tot dwerg gemaakt door twee hoge torens, waaronder Montevideo. De pier, en dus ook het hotel, geeft een spectaculair uitzicht over de Maas en de nabijgelegen haveninstallaties.

Het hotel heeft 72 kamers, waaronder twee in de torentjes. Er zijn conferentiezalen, en een restaurant met 400 plaatsen. Sinds oktober 2015 heeft het hotel een tweede restaurant, NY Basement. De zangeres Anouk verbleef enige tijd in het hotel, terwijl ze haar album "Hotel New York" schreef. Hotel New York stond in 2016 model voor het 97e Delfts blauwe huisje van KLM.

[sovietcrab]

germans live au, that’s pretty much it. i just, i love it so much, i worked out most of a story and maybe one day i’ll actually post it if i get enough interest.

[the-fatal-impact]

I’m calling you out guys for all those posts about Baumer being just young innocent soldier who did nothing wrong and how Muller was like dad to him!

[adreamfromnevermore]

You ever get sad thinking about how hard all of the characters in 1917 were fighting to survive? For most of the characters we see, we aren’t seeing battles in the same way a lot of war movies focus on, where sacrifice and death is common and all serves a “greater goal” there is no greater goal aside from Scho and his task to get to the Devons and somewhat in the final bit where the Devons are going over, although they don’t know it’s a trap. Baumer, Muller, they were just a pair of deserters trying to survive and then Scho showed up and what were they supposed to do? How was Baumer supposed to know that Scho wasn’t just going to kill Muller and then him if he didn’t yell? Even Leslie and his men are fighting to survive and afraid that they won’t because they have no way of knowing the Germans have gone. In the end, most of them are just fighting to survive 

[wornout-pinkscarf]

German refs babey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Designs (and names 😳) for German pilot and Bäumer were made by the wonderful @‘s Follow Them

Müller isn’t particularly creative or obvious but I don’t. Know anything about him 😔 Sorry king love you

Someone described the older German soldier in the Engländer scene as Kat from All Quiet On the Western Front and it ruined my entire life.

Its heartbreaking when you realize that just like Tom Baumer likely had a big brother himself and just like Will had to tell Joe that his baby brother was killed Muller would have to tell Baumer's big brother that his baby brother was killed two big brothers in the span of one lost their baby brothers so senselessly and neither Tom or Baumer had to die

earlier today i was considering some of the parallels between their deaths. obviously how young they were, how they had older companions that had to experience the pain of losing them, how both of them were senselessly killed by soldiers who probably saw no other option.

but i also like some of the differences and think they’re really poignant. for example, even though baumer is just a young man doing what he thinks is right (just like tom, mind you), his death almost seems less honorable. for one, he’s german. again, we get to see him as a young, scared soldier, as human, but it happens in a way that frames it as more justifiable. maybe that’s not because he’s german, but that certainly has something to do with it. i mean, he’s the enemy, right? scho is the english hero here and he had to do it. but the beautiful thing about this film is that it points out the reality of the situation - we want scho to succeed, but we know that in the long run it won’t matter. so he’s able to call off this attack. so what? like mackenzie said, it’ll just happen the next week. scho is no hero here, nor is baumer (or muller) some german monster.

another reality is that even though the german forces were supposed to be the enemy and to be hated, they were just men acting under the orders of other men. they were just as scared. they were just as desperate to make it out alive. but another thing that paints baumer’s death as less honorable is the fact that they were deserting (at least they seemed to be). tom and baumer may not be perfect foils for each other, but tom died still in service as he acted under orders, and baumer died in what was essentially treason as he tried to escape orders. he was still human so his death isn’t more justified by it, but what i’m trying to say (don’t know if i’m succeeding but i’m trying) is that tom will get to be hailed by his friends and family as having died a hero’s death in service of his country, while baumer will just be a soldier who shouldn’t have ditched out because it got him killed. sure, his family won’t see it that way, but we don’t know that his family will get to know. will muller go back? i have no idea. if he does, will he get the chance to tell baumer’s family, to tell his joe? it’s honestly so heartbreaking to consider that baumer has his own joe out there somewhere who may never know the truth of what happened to his tom.

sorry if that’s not quite what you were getting at, but i started writing and it took off on its own lol

your daily 1917 reminders ♡

when captain smith tells his men to collect schofield’s things, they also collect blake’s helmet and rifle and keep them. when they arrived at the front line, someone was probably using blake’s rifle

as they were being sent as reinforcements for the newfoundlands’ push, the convoy was almost certainly on its way to what would become the battle of arras (vimy ridge/the scarpe) three days later

all that lauri would have heard after schofield left the cellar was gunfire. she almost certainly thought he had been killed

when schofield gives blake’s two rings and identity tag to joe, they’re all there, but he still seems to pick something else out of the pile before handing them over. it’s likely he was picking out his wedding ring, meaning he kept blake’s rings in the same pocket

after escaping the collapsing mine, schofield tells blake to keep his eyes on the ridge line; a few minutes later, when they leave the woods and start towards the farmhouse, blake gives schofield the same order. behind him, schofield gives the tiniest smile, seemingly happy that blake is learning from him

when looking down at the farmhouse, schofield says “let’s hope so” and sounds completely terrified. blake gives him a firm, determined look and says “we have to be sure”, to which schofield nods. blake briefly took over the leadership role, and is just as much a strong, comforting presence for scho in a weak moment as scho is for him

when blake is framed by the farmhouse window, he’s standing in almost the exact place he’ll die a few minutes later. the dialogue in that moment is “anything?” “nothing.”

while schofield is strangling baumer, muller’s rambling is along the lines of “my god, baumer, this was a mistake. we should go back. maybe they won’t have noticed we’ve been gone.” it’s likely they had deserted and weren’t even supposed to be in ecoust in the first place

when lauri asks “where are the others?”, she’s hopeful that schofield was part of a british advance and that she was going to be rescued

there are multiple hints to blake’s overly trusting nature one day getting him killed: blake still trusts the army to feed him, schofield has learned to scrounge what he can; blake trusts erinmore and the officers to know what’s best for them, schofield has learned that officers get men killed and that you need to rely on your own instincts first; when they’re advancing towards the german front line along the rim of the crater, blake has his rifle lowered and useless, while schofield’s is always ready to fire; when they help the pilot from the plane and when they go to fetch water/stay with him, blake discards his rifle both times, while schofield always keeps his within easy access on his shoulder; blake keeps important things in the outer pockets of his webbing and trousers, while schofield keeps them tucked away where they’re safe. schofield had learned from experience to treat the world with distrust; blake hadn’t yet learned that lesson

ecoust and croisilles wood lie almost perfectly between blake and schofield’s trench system and thiepval. as they were heading south-east, schofield would have been getting closer to thiepval with every step. this underlying theme of being forced to confront the source of his trauma culminated when he had to willingly choose to go over the top into enemy artillery fire to save the devons

blake would have been buried in france, where his mother would most likely never get the chance to visit him

despite schofield’s wounds, he most likely wouldn’t earn wounded stripes for them, as they weren’t received in combat and could be classified as accidental

the poem that schofield recites to the baby, “the jumblies”, also contains the verse: “And every one said, who saw them go, / ‘O won’t they be soon upset, you know! / For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long, / And happen what may, it’s extremely wrong [...]” - this echoes the lyrics to a verse of “wayfaring stranger”: “i know dark clouds will gather round me, i know my way is hard and steep”

schofield and blake were part of the 8th battalion of the easy surrey regiment. in may 1917, the 8th fought in the third battle of the scarpe, part of the the battle of arras, meaning it’s possible schofield was reunited with whichever soldiers from the convoy had survived. they also fought during the german retreat to the hindenburg line, meaning he would have been sent back to the very place he stopped the devons’ attack. they would also go on to fight in flanders and passchendaele, and almost every major battle of the war. at the end of the war, they were in reserve at le cateau, 50 minutes from ecoust and croisilles wood

in may 1918, a german offensive took place that would become known as “the last stand of the 2nd devons”. already exhausted and severely depleted by the spring offensive, only 40 to 80 of around 600 men made it out alive. all 29 officers were killed or captured, meaning that even if joe survived as far as 1918, he most likely didn’t survive the final stand of his regiment. the 2nd devons were always doomed, and blake and schofield’s sacrifices were for nothing

[sovietcrab]

i cannot stop, god forgive me

left to right it’s friedrich, what’s effectively my oc, maximilien (friedrich’s older brother), and wolfgang

i know this wont get as much clout as drawing blake and scho but i cant fekking draw those stupid rat people, sorry
