  • The First Battle of El Alamein was a part of the WWII North African Campaign and
    took place in northwestern Egypt on July 1st, 1942. It began with the British being
    attacked by Axis forces led by Erwin Rommel, whose objective was to capture the
    Suez Canal, the Middle Eastern oil fields, and other strategic locations. however,
    the British defense was quite formidable and the Axis forces were not able to defeat
    them in any significant way. after days of vicious fighting, Rommel, undersupplied
    and outnumbered, decided to call off his attacks and assume a defensive position.
    Around 2 months later, in the 2nd Battle of El Alamein, The British would now
    launch an attack on the Axis front and eventually force Rommel to retreat, turning
    the tide of the North African campaign in the allies' favor.

    Everything is so smooth, it actually feels real. I can almost feel that I am actually witnessing the battle as a spectator, with all the sounds and exploding tanks. Even the vocal parts are actually quite accurate, the British tanker has his British accent, the Germans are actually saying the correct things (unlike my attempts at doing it). It makes me feel like LEGO people can actually talk.

      I once saw a cartoon education channel trying to explain the issues of psychosis by presenting childlike animations of Ted Bundy entrapping and murdering college students. It got taken down by the channel after receiving too many complaints. That cartoon was as tone deaf and inappropriate as say, taking a bunch of children’s Lego toys with their comic faces printed on them and using them to reenact the horrors of war and the genuine pain, mutilation and loss of real people; some of whom are still alive to witness this belittling of their pain and sacrifice in this ludicrously trivialising manner.
      If I was to ask, “WTF were they thinking that made them imagine this could be a GOOD idea in any universe!?” I guess I need look no further than the viewing figures, right? It’s clearly immensely popular, so I imagine there must be an entire library of these degenerate, trivialising, f*cked up videos out there, from which the makers are presumably earning fat stacks of cash? And so long as it’s earning them their money they’ll keep making them.
      I suppose we have further treats in store? Like Lego Does Auschwitz Concentration Camp? Lots of little bald Lego dudes with stars on their arms being marched into a plastic gas chamber? Or, Lego Does Abu Graib? For you all to marvel at the quality of the stop motion animation and how cleverly they animated that oversized Lego Dog when he sank his teeth into that innocent prisoner’s balls while the soldiers around them all took selfies and laughed? (Appropriate sad face on bitten prisoner, but so long as we don’t show any blood the kids will be, “learning something,” about how fun war can be and how death in battle is not horrific but just a giant table top game.)
      I saw Lego’s attempt at reenacting the trench warfare of WWI and couldn’t believe my eyes! It’s SO wrong I simply cannot find the words! But what has really makes me MARVEL is the RESPONSES! You people (who presumably have never witnessed a colleague getting so much as a paper cut, let alone a shot fired in anger?) just LOVE this sh*t and don’t even BEGIN to comprehend how and why this is the most darkly misguided, recklessly thoughtless, inappropriately tone deaf, wrong headed trivialisation of a worldwide trauma that effects REAL PEOPLE TO THIS DAY!
      This has no, “educational value,” no purpose, and certainly no morality. It’s turning the genuine pain of HUMAN BEINGS into children’s entertainment, and you can’t see a problem with that? You are all out of your f*cking minds! . . . Everything that’s gone so horribly wrong with the world is embodied in this horrifically wrongheaded animation and especially the response to it. I note that not a single comment I have read refers in any way to the actual events of the time, or the realities of war. But it’s certainly been an, “education,” for me.
      The more I see of humanity, the more I love my dog . . . SMH

      Lego has a policy that they don’t make anything military related for their sets. There have been some minor exceptions, such as stuff from Indiana Jones sets, but they don’t want to make anything that would be seen as supporting war efforts. They had a technic coming out of the Boeing V22 osprey liveried as a search and rescue helicopter, but canceled it after pressure from anti war effort groups because Boeing (a defense contractor) would be getting licensing fees and then they would technically be supporting war efforts

    It's really nice that instead of the classic British soldier at El Alamein he showed the men of the 4th Indian Division (even has the insignia on their shoulders). Although I don't think 4th Indian had any organic armoured units within their units.
    I also must mention, although people here mention no Italians on the basis that well... Italians don't get a lot of love so should add them, in a historical perspective it would make sense. 4th Indian didn't face German forces at El Alamein, they fought against the 25th Bologna Division for most of the Battle and not with either the 15th and 21st Panzer, 90th and 164th Light or the Ramcke Brigade.
    Still marvellous animation, it's just a stop motion so historical accuracy isn't at a premium but I like it as a way to get people interested in North Africa theatre.

So all the german Panzers would not charge and ram the british tanks but stop and shoot at them from a stable firing position

    Great animation! One thing I did find odd was that the tanks kept driving while firing, and got so close to eachother, IRL they would be forced to stop in order to fire, with the exception of the M4 Sherman, because otherwise the gun would bounce around and it would be nearly impossible to hit what you're aiming for. Other than that, and as I already said, great animation
