Is there anything more cursed than a white early twenties military history nerd who says “I’m just saying….you have to admire its efficiency…”
the eternal joke here is that nazi industrial policy was stupendously inefficient

“The Feed Bag isn’t fancy, but it fills you up.”
“If you’re looking for books, First Edition is the only place in the city to find them.”
“I understand the Fighters Guild is looking for new members. Seems a bit odd, but that’s what I hear.”
