/his/torian really likes Caesar

I was reading a recount of the Gallic Wars not long ago and in Caesar's personal writings on the wars, he mentions the dense hedgerows that made fighting the Belgae nearly impossible in Northern France.

It blew my mind that those would be the same hedgerows that are always depicted in WW2 in the Battle of Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge. The ones that gave modern tanks and airplanes difficulty.

He pacified the region with foot soldiers. What a beast.
