WWII era photographer Robert Capa has been criticized for fabricating the stories behind some of his most famous photos. Which of these *IS NOT* a lie he allegedly told about his famous series of D-Day photos known as the "Magnificent 11"
Very disappointed to see that fellow creator ‪@ColionNoir‬ shared an AI generated “historical” slop video to his millions of followers on various platforms. The post misrepresents real people and events, and will only add to the issues that I’ve pointed out in my videos on AI generated historical content. Sad to see this kind of slop coming from someone with such a large platform.
Thanks to Jared (host of the ‪@ReelHistory‬ YouTube channel) for hosting me at his place for the past couple nights! Needless to say, the history talk was nonstop and many laughs were had. You can look forward to seeing the two of us talk about some WWII movies in upcoming videos on both of our YouTube channels!
81 years ago today, the first engagements of the Battle of the Bulge broke out in the Ardennes, inflicting a costly toll on Allied troops caught in the German onslaught.
