Rupp's Skizzenbuch

[WWGeezer]

I thought I would throw this out there, since my involvement with simulations and ROF inspired some of this content....this is a non-commercial effort, just an art project that you might enjoy following as a way to commemorate the Centennial of WW1.  First two chapters are out and will continue to update this thread as chapters are published if folks are interested.

 

Welcome to "Rupp's Skizzenbuch"

 

This is an on-line serial World War I soldier's journal and sketchbook, brought to you by The Blue Max Project. Over the next eleven months, follow along as Unteroffizier Gerhardt Rupp re-tells the story of "The Blue Max" from his perspective with his own words, sketches and photographs.

 

And so it begins.....
