End Of The Week - A Day Of Remembrance (24)

I guess it might seem odd to be posting pictures of Germans on Remembrance Sunday. In my defence they are more of an alternate history thing. British fascist forces. 

Something got me thinking. Our fate may be tied to the Germans more than we think. Not to mention the Poles and the French. Or the rest of Europe for that matter. 

These minis are done for a post-apocalypse game. An apocalypse that has been stuck in my head since my youth. There were a lot of sleepless nights in the eighties. A childhood trauma that was firmly in the past. Until Russia entered Ukraine. It now seems like a possibility again.

Right here and now we depend on our military to keep us safe. We are definitely stronger with our allies in Europe. But today I think as much about our men and women who are serving today as those that have fallen or been injured in the past.
