seems like you have watched all WW scenes

They should absolutely cite the source of the footage. It's disappointing Sotheby's would not pay attention to such crucial historical details.

@@MeetRayka Sources? There's no need for looking for something that didn't exist. All battles during WWI took place outside of Germany. As for airplane bombardments, they were at best experimental during that war. What you are confusing this with is WWII. And that documentary got that pretty wrong too. What it got wrong also is to speak of Bauhaus as being about re-establishing the national pride. That's pretty beside the point, it was quite at the opposite of nationalism.

Some wonderful ideas and design but sadly sometimes form trumped function = not comfortable or usable, just (maybe) beautiful! Graphic design today often suffers from this same disease: the communication suffers because the design (for the designer) was all-important = FAILS to achieve its true purpose.
