One amusing stylistic point: the footage is 'flipped' wherever needed to maintain the convention of map direction. On the Western front, the Germans always shoot to the left and the French, British etc always shoot to the right. I didn't notice it until I spotted a German sniper whose rifle appeared to have the bolt on the wrong side.
I noticed that too, all those years ago. Rifle bolts on the wrong side. Seemed a ridiculous convention then. Still does now. Were the Austrians and Italians on the N-S facing Alpine front shown top and bottom of the screen? I don't think so.
