Info: As D-Day approached, hundreds of thousands of troops who had never seen combat had to be trained and prepared to meet the Wehrmacht in the field. As part of their training, they were shown a number of specially made films to familiarise them with the enemy. Never before released on video, these original films some in colour provide a fascinating and invaluable guide to German uniforms, insignia, weapons and field tactics. Presented by military expert Brigadier Christopher Bullock, these extraordinary films include a re-creation of German squad level tactics, a guide to using seven different types of German infantry weapons and a review of enemy artillery from the smallest field pieces to the gigantic railway guns. Theres also a review of German coastal fortifications - essential viewing for men about to throw themselves onto the beaches at Normandy and a very thorough look at the fighting strengths and tactics of Elite Nazi airborne troops. Illustrated by much rate footage, this video also includes a guide for British infantry on how to knock out different types of panzer tanks, a look at the V-1 and V-2 menace, a comprehensive guide to enemy aircraft identification and a complete unique review of different types of Axis sneak craft - manned torpedoes and mini-submarines.
