I was watching the "Under the Eagle" episode of "The First World War" on the Military Channel this weekend. Approximately 23 minutes in,
lo and behold, there was an archival footage piece showing German troops crossing a muddy ditch, and a familiar profile caught my eye. I had to hit the rewind
on the DVR: as best as I could make out, all seemed to be carrying Gew.88s!
Cool!
