I'm really sorry to break this to you. I had to respond to inquries about The Great War channel on the traction war forum, so here's what I posted there:
Don't be sorry, I don't have any disillusion that everything I read or hear is gospel
That's exactly what you watch the channel for, a general timeline of WW1. It's a way to present the history of WW1 in a (more or less) visual manner. When it comes to details or character studies of major generals, that's something that not even professional historians can be objective on tbh.
You have to take any history with a grain of salt anyway. No history that's re-told or re-written (even first hand accounts) is 100% accurate, because nobody that's ever lived is completely free of bias.
The channel isn't out to spread disinformation tho. It's a really good way to educate the layman on the broad history of WW1, and if you want more detail, get into more detail. He even mentions to read through other sources yourself because there is alot more info in them than can be gotten from five to 10 minutes per week.
Exactly my worst fear. What a disservice to the actual harlem hellfighters to represent them like that....
Considering all video games based on real conflicts turn war into a literal
game that people can have
fun with. Wouldn't they all be considered a disservice to the actual people that fought there?
It's a video game, it's meant to bend history. Why does it matter to what degree it actually bends history?
