Definite must-see, and get on DVD to add to my Military Classics collection

This little tidbit from the production of Dunkirk made me LOL and say, “Oh, shit, that crazy Christopher Nolan!”:

Nolan reconditioned actual warships for the shoot,[21] including the French Navy destroyer Maillé-Brézé,[22] and reportedly spent $5 million of the budget on a vintage aircraft so as to attach it with IMAX cameras before crashing it on-screen.[23] Avoiding the use of CGI, cardboard cut-out props of soldiers and military vehicles were employed to create the illusion of a large army.[19]
