Wargaming supports heritage and history projects. We were the sponsor for the final Band of Brothers Normandy reunion, organized by The WWII Foundation and War History Online
Band of Brothers was an incredibly successful entertainment property that portrayed elements of WWIII in a deeply engaging way that exposed the subject matter to a wideband audience, and gave them an additional context to care about and engage with the history.
Wargaming products, like World of Tanks, is an entertainment property in the same vein, so sponsoring the BoB cast at the 70th anniversary of VE/71st anniversary of DDAY in the gigantic open-are memorial/history museum that is Normandy, and filming it, is a way for us to contribute toward heritage and historical preservation and dedication.
Some number of actors and guests played WoT or watched it being played, and were both engaged and fascinated by what looks like the newest medium to engage hundreds of millions of audience members in the subject matter of WWII
Event happened on June 4-7 in Normandy, France to commemorate the heroic past and veterans.
These very locations in Normandy were used as references to the Overlord map in WOT.
