Was simping for women always part of western culture or does that simply derive from medieval Christianity and courtly love? The Romans and Greeks never showed women the same affection and love that people in the Middle Ages did.

>soft sunset backdrop
>beautiful starry/blue-eyed girl, her pregnancy, short stature, diary, and the yellow badge Jews were made to wear in the Netherlands during WWII highlighting her innocence and her vulnerability
>handsome Confederate soldier, his height (at least six feet), beard, Sergeant's stripes, infantry badge on his Hardee hat conveying his moral and military authority (obviously in his mid-late 20s, physically imposing, commanding a position of respect among his men)
>faceless German soldier with his SS collar and Nazi Party helmet decal clearly visible (conveying that he was presumably one of the men who willingly participated in the persecution and murder of Jews) lies slain on the ground with his weapon discarded next to him, representing that for all the pomp about their being elite soldiers of the "master race", the feared SS are nothing more than cruel bullies who stand little chance against the disciplined and principled men of the Confederacy, who are not intimidated and prepared to fight them man to man

Nigga this is a classic damsel-in-distress piece. Anne is the threatened maiden, the Confederates are the noble knights come to her rescue, and the Nazis are the dragon/brigands who may seem intimidating, but are in fact all bark and no bite.
