They were first used in the Russian movie 'War And Peace.' Hollywood hired them out for 'Waterloo' with Rod Steiger. If you want to see a great reenactment of the battle, watch that movie. I'm speaking specifically about military tactics. https://youtu.be/rt4mYUKjzn0 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 4 points 2 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/rt4mYUKjzn0 Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
