npub192s76g8p87wv9nh7h7rw6ws64mlvsl74crgdyj67lx7g8xgwdlzqr66uy2 (npub192s…6uy2) Napoleon charging into battle at Waterloo was a big one for that particular movie. In fact any charging into battle for a Napoleonic top brass officer. Firing a 9-pounder into the top of the pyramids was another. Austerlitz (the ice scene) was mitigated to that one urban legend instead of the complicated miles long battle of musket brutality that it truly was. Honestly true napoleonic battle form would be appalling and embarrassing to witness today, almost not cinematic because it was so boring and cold blooded.
There is a special place in my heart for Kings and Generals https://www.youtube.com/@KingsandGenerals which goes into source material very deeply and has easy to watch videos! The channel has evolved beautifully 😗 but there are a few similar channels like Epic History etc.
