Stylistically, the EP :: :: follows the album Menschenmⁿhle. This time, too, the :: :: lyrics, which are in German, are convincing. The poetry is :: :: sometimes brutal, but also refrains from any glorification :: :: of war. :: :: :: :: The background is the entry of the United States into the :: :: war in the last year of the war. After Germany declared :: :: unrestricted submarine warfare and also sank ships from the :: :: USA, the time had come. The first American soldiers on the :: :: continent initially fought under the command of the English :: :: and French. In September 2019, at the Battle of St. Mihiel, :: :: the American Expeditionary Force got its first chance to :: :: enter the battlefield under its own leadership. :: :: :: :: The Yankee Division, as it was popularly known, now came :: :: into play. The Germans, who wanted to free themselves from :: :: the clutches of the French army by retreating to the St. :: :: Mihiel position, were cut off by the Americans and forced :: :: into a hedgehog position on the Combres heights. A horrific :: :: slaughter was the result. At 05:00, after 4 hours of :: :: deafening preparatory fire, the Americans advanced across :: :: the battlefield and invaded the German trenches. The result :: :: was over 6,500 dead and 7,000 wounded on both sides. The :: :: Yankee Division took 15,000 German prisoners in just 3 :: :: days. The Yankees' first independent campaign was crowned :: :: with a bloody success. :: :: :: :: . _ _ . :: \: :. \\ ___________ . ___________ // .: :/ __\____ :: ____ ___\ _ / BERC : 2022 \ _ /___ ____ :: ____/__ \\\f3! :: \\\ __ _/_________i_________\ /___/ /// :: cRO/// \ :: :\-\___________\_ ___ / _ _/___________/-/: :: / :: | . . _ _ _/ __/ . \_ _ _ . . | :: : :::::::: | | \\\\\/ _______\____|\ \///// | | :::::::: : :: | | -\-\/____/-------------\____\/-/- | | :: :: | | \ :|: / | | :: : : | . ` ::: ' . | : : . . | : ::: : | . . | :::....:::....::: | : ::::::::::::::::: : . :::''``:::''``::: . : ::: : . ::: . .:. :
