Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The image of the UNIT soldier actually originates from 1999 BBC television series Warriors, where the pictured soldier was a multilingual UN peacekeeper called Minka, played by Sarajevo-born actor Sheyla Shehovich.
- Warriors, a drama serial set in 1993 in Vitez, Bosnia, during the Lašva Valley ethnic cleansing, focused primarily on the psychological trauma inflicted upon the British UN peacekeepers, having to witness atrocities inflicted upon civilians while being mandated not to intervene. It may mean that the usage of the image from the series in the U.N.I.T. implies that the events depicted in Warriors also takes place in the DWU, in some form. The images were edited to include the UNIT acronym on the soldiers' uniforms, a detail not present in the source material.
