L'Enfer
This is my take on Georges Leroux's painting of the western front. I have always regarded this as one of the most terrifying images I've ever seen. I like how the central figure, although doubtless scared, is poised to go forward and accomplish his mission. People in the future will wonder why we ran our country today the way the generals ran the first world war when the alternatives were so obvious and clear.
Hell. Georges Leroux.

The British army offered a generous leave to any gun crew that could obliterate this.
Der Zauberberg.
Verdun.
How the fuck could this have happened?
