"The trouble is many people interested in War Cinema want the past to be recreated in a visually accurate/realistic way. None of the soldiers are firing guns from the Normandy landings. None of the landing craft are historical. They arent fighting in ways that make sense. I think that after videos like this a lot of people are going to start seeing AI in a very different way. War cinema is one of my favorite genres and being able to recreate the Normandy landings in such a vibrant and believable way feels like a dream come true.

""In the eighteenth-century infantryman's world everything depended upon deliberation precision order: the better the army the more machinelike its maneuvers on the battlefield would be. Cohesion was all and in order to maintain it the best soldiers of the day had been trained to march at a parade-ground pace to within hailing distance of an enemy line halt and fire a final volley before they could charge headlong bayonets fixed at their opponents. The fate of every infantry battle ultimately rested on the ability of soldiers to withstand the physical and psychological shock of that climatic"
