As the number of World War veterans diminishes, historians can be less reliant on eye witness accounts and precise descriptions of for instance troop movements. For archeological and historical purposes this presents a loss of information that would otherwise have lead to valuable insights. An alternative suggestion might be to develop a massively online role-play, whereby troop movements are constructed from available accounts and fed into a scenario which can be rendered in 3D. Much of the application level functionality developed in the gaming industry can be reused. Information would consist of exact locations of regiments or commandos at a certain time of day. Such information can be further validated using military logs. Combined with local knowledge such as terrain and weather conditions, the resulting movie would provide an educational tool for both military strategists as well as the general public which is able to replay military achievements from any angle and with accuracy.
