Okay, i went back and lissened to the last one, the middle one
about the tanks etc., but dropped it because it was just too
fakey. However, the mention of the "tankettes" and "type 97"
is technically correct, i think.

Now, "willy peter", does anyone know, was white phosphorous
known by that nickname in WW2? I know that is VietNam and
current correct.

These audio samples kinda reminded me of an artist whose work
i have sometimes seen in military magazines. Every painting he does
is technically correct and highly skilled, but he crams  what seems like
dozens of figures into each painting, plus maybe a plane or two in the
sky above. Which technique harkens back to military themed paintings
of pre-photography, which tended to try to encapsulate as much as one
could, in a single frame. 

Why can't replicators and reenactors get it right?
Maybe because reality is more boring, complicated, and fuzzy
than even our imaginations. -Hue Miller
