World War I used to be a conflict that didn’t get too much attention. Part of the reason was that it has often been overshadowed by World War II, a conflict that has almost been fetishized in numerous Hollywood films—everything from golden oldies such as 1946’s “The Best Years of Our Lives,” to more recent entries such as 2016’s “Hacksaw Ridge.”
Additionally, many folks consider the trench warfare of World War I to be rather boring, as opposed to some of the faster-paced, dramatic World War II battles, such as the storming of France’s Normandy coastline by Allied forces on D-Day (cinematically immortalized in 1998’s “Saving Private Ryan”).
