Corporal Krakowski

Krakowski in WWI: TWR

Corporal Krakowski appears in *World War I: Trench Warfare Remake* as a supporting character. Krakowski is a Corporal in the U.S. Army Expeditionary Force having joined before he graduated high school so he could go out and bash some skulls. He is known to be a skilled fighter who likes to charge with a captured German C96 pistol and a shovel. Krakowski serves with 2nd platoon under the command of Lieutenant Bushido, which is apart of an unknown company commanded by Captain Indiana. He is close friends with his fellow platoon members of Sergeant Miller, Private Wilson, and Private Bravo.

## In WWI: TWR

Krakowski is first seen in the intro of the video as he is digging a trench alongside Sgt. Miller and Pvt. Bravo. Later he is shown hanging around with his comrades in the trench asking what a Belgian is as well as voicing his displeasure with French equipment. When a grenade is thrown right next to him he is rather unconcerned before it was even decided upon that the lads should toss it back. Later as he's called in for a roll call before the trench raid, he appears to be the last mine to have seen Private Stevens who he claims was trying to cross No Man's Land. Steven's location is still unknown. During the charge Krakowski can be seen juking out bullets as he takes pot shots with his pistol. After 2nd platoon falls back, he tells Pvt. Bravo that he managed to kill 2 Germans. He also mentions that Johnston was once shot in the balls and he was told this by Stevens. Krakowski with the rest of the men jumps at the opportunity to push the wall across No Man's Land, and when abandoning this attempt questions why they don't have any tanks as this would obviously be a better method for crossing the treacherous field ahead.

During Lt. Bushido's PTSD episode, Krakowski along with the other man run to the Lieutenant to snap some sense back into him so he could lead the charge. While Bravo and Wilson attempt to talk to the Lieutenant, it is the strange hand movements of Krakowski that brings Bushido back to his senses. Krakowski once again in the charge nimbly dodges bullets before switching to his shovel to fight a German in close quarters. He deflects a strike with a machine gun before locking the weapon into his hands to then perform his funky technique that amazingly breaks the weapon in two. This potentially makes Krakowski one of the strongest characters in the Gnarly Dudes Universe as his hand technique brought a man out of a PTSD attack and broke a metal machine gun in half, incredible displays of power. Near the end of the fight Krakowski can be seen chasing around a German soldier when Lt. Bushido realizes the war is over, causing Krakowski to stop fighting and happily walk away. He ends the war with the good game line up at the end.

## Trivia

- Krakowski is the only other character besides Captain Indiana to be wearing a genuine WWI jacket in the video instead of a WW2 one. His belt and its attachments are also the only correct period equipment as the belt Jack wears is believed to be from WW2. This belt and jacket were both worn by Jack in the previous film.

- Krakowski's weapon choice was decided by Joe the day before filming. Jack intended for him to have a rifle but Joe really wanted to just use a shovel like in the Verdun video game. He also had the C96 BB gun that he had once bought for use in a WWI video that he figured he'd just use.
