Military historian Dan Snow MBE
Military historian Dan Snow MBE reviews the evolution of warfare over the course of 250 years depicted in historical movies.
Spanning from the late-18th to early-21st Century, Dan charts the development of battle tactics and strategy, as well as the rapid evolution of weapons technology which have transformed the battlefield.
In the second episode, starting of with Fury (2014) starring Bard Pitt and Shia LaBoeuf, Dan explains how the concept of a pitched battle was made obsolete by the introduction of armoured vehicles, more specifically, tanks. Although tanks had been introduced in the latter years of the First World War, it was only in the Second World War that they became integral to the strategies of Allied and Axis armies. Two of the most iconic tanks from the conflict are seen in this scene from Fury, the German Tiger Tank and US M4 Sherman. Dan assesses the pro and cons of each tank and analyses how they were used in World War Two.
Moving on two decades from the Second World War to the Vietnam War, depicted in Casualties of War (1989) starring a young Sean Penn and Michael J. Fox, Dan remarks on the difficulties American soldiers had in battling a new kind of enemy, one that was almost indistinguishable from civilian populations. Whilst US soldiers struggled to identify who they were meant to be targeting with their superior weapons and equipment, the Vietcong used guerilla tactics to consistently inflict casualties and slowly chip away at US morale using a combination of hit-and-run attacks, secret tunnels, booby traps and mines.
Lastly, Dan reviews Zero Dark Thirty (2012), a film depicting the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan on 2nd May, 2011. Dan comments on the remarkable development of weapon and stealth technology used by elite soldiers such as the Navy SEALs and the way warfare has evolved to the extent at which the US President (Barrack Obama) was able to watch the raid in real time.
