Have elementary and secondary history students research the Battle of Arras before viewing the film: focus on aspects such as artillery, countries involved, the outcome and its effect on world history. Students can contrast the film with their preconceptions about the battle. Media and film students can contrast this footage with popular Hollywood representations of battles, and examine the persuasive effects of editing, sound (and its omission), and choice of words.
