When did shit hit the fan for Nat Geo?

At 1m30s you can clearly see WW2 soldiers carrying M16's.

Then at 9m02s you can clearly see these so called Soviets driving around in a current day military Hummer. Even if the Hummer was a Soviet created vehicle that design we see is from the 90's, not something which would look like it came from the 50's.

It's as though finding intact WW2 vehicles and weapons that aren't in a museum or collection and then getting permission to get them dirty and destroyed is kind of hard to do.

For most viewers, a gun is a gun and a tank is a tank. It's considerably more expensive to get ahold of WW2 equipment (Or make replicas) when the vast majority of people don't honestly care in the first place.

Though, granted, these are a lot more egregious than what you usually get. Documentary channels have been going downhill for a while now.

National Geographic went to shit when it stopped being about animals.

Weird how national geographic has more history than the history channel

Nat Geo should switch to using CGI.

Bro, willys are cheap and blank fire replica M1's are way less than any real rifle.
It was just stock footage anyway, someone simply chose bad ones for the time period.
