Hardcore History did wonders for my WW1 soldier respect levels as well

And the All Quiet on the Western Front remake… and Dan Carlin’s excellent Blueprint for Armageddon. 

Oh and the very well done Battlefield 1 ..I’ve become quite the enthusiast (weird choice of words)

More than anything, I’m fascinated by how sophisticated the war was (rather than a naive belief that “yawn it’s olde timey lol”)
