Are these computer animated movies is are they doing that in lego? They also got lots of other battles rendered this way, it must be a movement! there are even stop motion movies on the Ukraine war https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r89A4ngNnxU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BrAZBHkRB8
There are behind the scenes videos of the stop animation!
Lego depicting war is so depressing... (well, except for Lego Star Wars of course, somehow that seems to pass both the corporate and my personal "no way toys!" filters)

As far as themed sets go, Lego has been consistent in promoting aggressiveness in the last 30 years. Police chasing the bad guys to put them in a prison cell, pirates wanting to plunder the treasure, ninjas riding heavily-armed aircraft.
"The Battle of Verdun showed the strength and determination of the French, and revealed to the world the chaos and destructiveness of modern war." Based on the jokes from WWII, they must have not recovered that tenacity in time. "We have these gently used WWII French rifles. They've only been dropped once"
If wonder if this is where they got the French machine guns: https://www.brickwarriors.com/french-lmg/ (first result for "lego chauchat gun"). I kind of love that there's this 3rd-party market for relatively obscure weapons for minifigs.

The British Army ran faster than the French to the sea but the joke is always on the French. It's also a very anglo-saxon joke…

Of course, our friends across the pond also think state healthcare is communism, and republicans are “literally” nazis so, I wouldn’t truck too much with such statements.
