You need to change the forward direction of the camera, which is presumably fixed to (0,0,-1) . You can do this by rotating the directions about the y axis by camYRot (as computed in the lookat function) so that forwards is in the same direction that the camera is pointing (in the plane made by the z and x axes).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
