[Las Palmeras]

"Thrown into a world that my kids didn't understand...morning turned to night and vice versa...nothing made sense but their material parents blamed things on them. We got an education out on the world, where we despised the wealthy but also the weak. Letting go of the anger and sadness through song, we forgot what was our meaning in singing. And gradually also forgot what meaning was. Or what singing is for.

This place is a place of constant sorrow, and a constant monochrome follows it around. Magic is not possible in the material plane, it's possible in the Ether Area but that place is strictly divided from the material world and can only be seen by freak photographs. Faith is faith and proof is proof. Ravens and apples are the same thing. Ravens and apples are different things. People don't believe in themselves, or believe way too much in their abilities. The world is a pearl inside a seashell, but it's unknown weather the seas are calm and the meaty insides protect us, or if the insides are corrosive and the water outside is crystal clear and calm. And we don't know what kind of seashell we're in. This is a world of nothing, and we're not unhappy. But we're not happy either."
-No Name

"With the increased focus on naval combat and amphibious landings in the Second World War, the three pre-war Seebataillon were expanded into division-sized forces which saw much combat in the North Sea, the Baltic, the Mediterranean, the Pacific, and Africa. One Seebataillon was even among the Allied forces who invaded Roquist French-held Madagascar in late 1942 and another participated in the Caribbean campaign alongside the Americans, Confederates, Texians, British, Free French, Canadians, Venezuelans, and Colombians. Of the nearly 300,000 saurs who served in the Marine divisions, some 25,461 lost their lives with 40,000 others ending up wounded, captured, or unaccounted for on all fronts they fought in."
~ Lukas Fabeck, Historian on the Imperial naval infantry units

-A soldier from the 3rd Royal Bavarian Regiment

[Bereia]

"Heading up to do a turn in the front trenches, one of the first things you did when you got there was ask the men you were replacing who was across the way. That could tell you a lot about how hard a time you were likely to have. If it was Saxons or Bavarians, you might actually get some sleep once in awhile, but Prussians? You would forget what sleep felt like."

-- Samuel H. H. Frost, WWI veteran.

[Auzkhia]

"I hate the notion that Italians can not be good soldiers. Italy was always at war between Venice, Florence, Naples, Milan and the Pope. While the Germans held up the French in stalemate in the north, we spearheaded the attack in the south of France, and the French were destroyed."

[Civilana]

"Ah, the American Sherman or, as we dubbed it in the Empire, the Moltke; a glorified light tank in my opinion with its thin armor and weak gun, neither of which enable it to stand toe-to-toe with the Soviet tanks on its own. It was good for overwhelming the Soviets though, especially once we replaced the old gun with the one used for the Altispinax* that enable it to be better able at penetrating the sloped armor of the West Russian T-34s."
~ Leutnant Alexander Kempe, driver for several Sherman tanks land-leased to the Empire from the United States from 1942-1944

*Imperial Panzer V equivalent

[Bereia]

"I always loved it when we captured Hitler Youth units. They always seemed to think we were being allowed to get this far, as though our progress was being permitted at part of some scheme invented by their precious Führer, which is a ridiculous notion, but they were basically children. It was only when we broke across the Rhine, and really started into Germany itself, that perhaps it occurred to them that Germany really was losing the war, and that it really was going that badly."

-- F. D. Bartail, WWII veteran.

--- Adalwolfa v. Kaiserberg and Sybille Eisenstein
