There’s a Rommel like thing going on with Saurfang. So, Rommel was held up as being a more simplistic, honourable guy after the WW2, with much of that being pushed by the allies in order to ease the German people back into the fold & give a character to rally around.

This somewhat created the ‘honourable German army’ story. (Also furthered by postwar German memoirs). Ofc WW2 is a far more serious topic, and I mean no disrespect - it’s just interesting to see art emulate history. I wonder if Blizzard had this in mind?

So, looking at Saurfang, they’re whitewashing some of his actions & putting the blame on Sylvanas, and are then holding him up as the symbol behind which postwar horde can rally. Interesting parallels!

See, things like this need to be made into a video. "Hey everyone and welcome back to another Warcraft video... ...so that was a neat thing we learned about history. Be sure to like share & subrscribe for more vidya content!" Most ppl learn things by osmosis like this anyway.

And that’s the bad part of YouTube - high chance of it being demonetised and suppressed if I do that. I’ll see what I can do
