Nice to see a British perspective from ww2 for a change , also congratulations on your use of authentic military uniforms and equipment. I certainly would relish seeing another of your productions , you guys are good and you should be proud of your achievements. WELL DONE THOSE MEN .
Sounds like the beginning of a joke: “So, two British second lieutenants are walking alone in the woods ...”

I'm a member of a 4th Wiltshires Living History Group so pleased to see the Battalion getting some recognition in this, not sure what it says about the foresight of young officers mind you! A bit of a shame that the bloke that shows up at the end doesn't have a No4 Mk.1 and he looks like a sack of something tied up in the middle, but overall well done! 🙂

Same I noticed. It could’ve been considered if the soldier is an australian, Indian, or a kiwi soldier during the WW2.

I was thinking it could be the Ardennes or even Germany in 1944/5. Don't know if the Wiltshires were in either area. Doesn't really matter. The soldier didn't keep his Sten to hand but grabbed the German Mauser rifle. What an 'oh sh**' moment when he realises it is empty.

Why didn't he drop the Mauser and draw his pistol?
The Wiltshire regiment has quite a long WW2 history. Dunkirk 1940 / Market Garden 1944 / Geilsenkirchen. Played this in 1944 or 1945.

I could tell the sten would not fire with the missing extractor.
Good effort, entertaining but also frustrating, his Sten was just there but he went for the empty K98 and at the end he forgot he had his Webley … but details aside, it was worth a watch !

I also didn't understand that either. He has two personal weapons he's familiar with...and he picks up a rifle that may not be loaded or even functional.
A few Majors walking around alone then. Why didn't the first Major use his revolver?

It was a sniper ricochet
why didn't he use his side arm?
Umm the sound effects are actually in reverse with the shots being fired in your direction. First of all, the bullet makes the whizzing sound, then comes the report(sound of the firearm being discharged.. 1 shot and our senses can't determine the direction it came from, 2 shots and our tiny brains can work it out. Just something to share,,,,,,,,,

No lol, the Brits stood alone for a year and contributed much more towards defeating nazi Germany and literally invented the first special forces during WW2, which the Americans based their own spec ops on later. Do some research on the st Nazaire raid and falklands war before making that claim.

@@wilburshaw9330 Yes because Britain was the only remaining free ally on the western front and the only effective place for the Americans to place their troops on the western front. That in no way signifies that “brits couldn’t hold a candle against the average American soldier”. As for Dunkirk that was a necessary and smart retreat, they would have got annihilated if they had they stayed and fought and the war would have been lost. Brits and Americans usually have full respect for each others militaries, we are eachothers closest allies. Saying that brits couldn’t hold a candle to Americans is ridiculous, do some research, the British military is well trained.
Boring
