Stinky unwashed people, fresh from bashing, cutting and slicing people apart, hand to hand.

Imagine WW1 trenches, wet, cold, disease ridden... Now add some unknown thing called ptsd from physically downing swaths of people, animals, things best left unseen... Now add Uber religion and superstition...a total lack of medical care....

Total hell on earth..

And I think you have the beginnings of an understanding.

World War One was fought with people running around with "sound cards" like -BOOM-. -KAPOW-. -BLAM-. The Germans had improper translations of English and french- (soldier cards ....je swee sherrie,. Fish n chips lads! Or Canadian fish n chips, eh!)

The English and French had improper German translations (soldier cards....Auch dee strudel. Vissen nine!....rawss rawws Berliner!)

....all in black and white. At the end of the war they had a pianist who played ragtime and such....
