Fantastic Assault Troop find....

[Chris Boonzaier]

This film may be the most important bit of celluloid to come out of the war?

I am sure some of the stills have been sold for silly money....

Very neat. I like the Bangalore torpedo at the end.

I can't understand the titles but I assume a training/information film. Very cool indeedy.

I like the troopie who collects the thrown training grenades and then has to stand to attention next to a target each time he picks one up. Looks like someone is keeping score, gets a bit confused when more than one is thrown though. Could almost be Mr Chaplin.

Is this the Stormtrooper training? Dated 08/15?

With the steel helmet it must be a bit later.

Does anyone know if that can be downloaded? Are there programs that will?

I just did so with a firefox plugin called Ant Video Downloader.

Now I see why the Germans don't play cricket no decent bowlers.

Over the years you've made some very interesting posts, Chris.

This has to be one of the best, quite educational.

Thank you for taking the time to show it here.
