ACOUP - The Battlefield After the Battle

This time, I’m tackling Bret’s World War I focused uploads. So obviously, I’ll be starting here, where Bret takes a look at film and video game depictions of medieval and ancient battlefields. Why is it that such battlefields are often depicted as muddy, cratered, burning wastelands? And if such a depiction isn’t accurate to history, then where does it come from?
