Many of these WWII series, whatever their overriding topic, use the same

of the Germans attacking Russia and Russia running the Germans out of
their homeland 10 times in 10 different series and, of course, most of
the time you can't really tell what precisely is taking place, where or
when.


So? It was made in what, 1952? All done with expensive film which is
time consuming to develop, splice, etc. Miles and miles of cellulose
nitrate or cellulose acetate. We are just spoiled because of today's
instant digital videos and movies.




I suppose if accuracy doesn’t matter, “so” is acceptable.

This has not really improved much, even on the news that you are
supposed to believe. I see them grab a stock B roll shot that I have
seen a dozen times and drop it into a current news story.
