Released by the British Information Service in the aftermath of the Market Garden failure, this short black-and-white newsreel, part of the “Act and Fact” series and titled “Gateway to Germany,” begins with cheering crowds in September 1944, as the British 2nd Army roars through Belgium. Men, women, and children are shown reaching out to shake the hands of the soldiers at their convoys make their way through city streets at mark 00:20. The British 11th Armored Division are shown making their way to the outskirts of Antwerp at mark 01:00, where the Allies gain control of docks and railways in the city. Yet the war is not over for the Brits, we are told, as troops must continue fighting their way through the rest of Belgium. “The soldiers realize the days of their triumphant sweep are over. From here in, war is grim and unforgiving,” says the narrator at mark 01:34, as scenes of combat flash across the screen. “Battered by a merciless Germany rear guard, the troops press forward.” Meanwhile, the Allies launch an air strike on Holland, designed to get behind German water defenses and join the ground army “at the gateway to Germany.” Men of the British 1st Parachute Brigade are shown bailing out at mark 03:10 over Arnhem in the Netherlands, while enemy guns fall strangely quiet. As troops march through Eindhoven to meet the US 101st Airborne Division at mark 03:40, additional Allied aircraft soar overhead. Although troops were ordered to withdraw from Arnhem, as is shown at mark 05:25, Allied forces later regroup for a final assault beginning at mark 06:40, including a battle for Walcheren Island in late October. Canadian and British troops were eventually able to secure the area on November 2, 1944. “On Walcheren they call it Heartbreak Island. But the people who live here, bear on their coat of arms: ‘I struggle and emerge…,’” says the narrator near mark 09:15. “The people of Walcheren say, ‘The Lord made the water rise and He will make it fall.’ Our children will live to see these trees bear fruit again.” As the film closes, Allied troops are shown entering the harbor at Antwerp, “A lifeline of supplies for the armies of the Western front. Bought and paid for with the blood of courage and the strength of sacrifice, the gateway to Germany today stands open.” Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an unsuccessful Allied military operation, fought in the Netherlands and Germany in the Second World War. Field Marshal Montgomery’s strategic goal was to encircle the heart of German industry, the Ruhr, in a pincer movement. The northern end of the pincer would circumvent the northern end of the Siegfried Line giving easier access into Germany. The aim of Operation Market Garden was to establish the northern end of a pincer ready to project deeper into Germany. Allied forces would project north from Belgium, 60 miles (97 km) through the Netherlands, across the Rhine and consolidate north of Arnhem on the Dutch/German border ready to close the pincer. Several bridges between Eindhoven and Nijmegen were captured at the beginning of the operation. The 82nd Airborne Division’s failure to capture the main road bridge over the river Waal at Nijmegen before 20 September also delayed the advance of XXX Corps. Only a small force managed to capture the north end of the Arnhem road bridge and after the ground forces failed to relieve them, the paratroopers were overrun on 21 September. The remainder of the 1st Airborne Division were trapped in a small pocket west of the bridge, having to be evacuated on 25 September. The Allies failed to cross the Rhine and the river remained a barrier to their advance into Germany until offensives at Remagen, Oppenheim, Rees and Wesel in March 1945. The failure of Market Garden to form a foothold over the Rhine ended Allied expectations of finishing the war by Christmas 1944.

One of a number of short films sold to the public for home entertainment during WWII, this film shows the activities of German U-boats on the high seas. The boat featured is that of Captain Luth, U-181, whose boat sank 47 Allied merchant ships and a submarine during the confict. He became the first of just two naval officers to win the Third Reich’s highest award for valor. The film shows Luth and U-181 deploying into the Atlantic, forming up into a Wolf Pack on orders from Admiral Donitz (1:51), and making a successful attack on an Allied convoy at 6:00. Tactics are briefly described in title cards. The film ends with a night attack, and burning Allied shipping illuminating the night sky.

This World War II training film KNOW YOUR ENEMY: GERMAN EQUIPMENT was originally made by the British Paramount News for the Ministry of Information. The film attempts to educate soldiers, tankers and other combatants about the material resources and equipment of the German Wehrmacht, and discusses how to defeat tanks and other weapons with small arms and anti-personnel weapons. “To know your enemy, know his weakness and his strength, gives you edge over him.” Here we have more examples of German equipment which gives you edge over them. At mark 1:15, we have a vehicle drawing a 3.7cm gun together with the ammunition carriage. The Germans are always told that the gun is on offensive not a defensive. Winter changes to spring and here’s still the same gun being used at mark 2:05. Their weight is 800 weights and can be easily concealed; 3.75cm, 1.45 inch for the best range of 400 yards with 12 rounds per minute. At mark 2:35, we have the Type 1 German tank with 5 small regular wheel bogies, 2 light machine guns, head-on direct fire should be directed on both slits, periscopes, and the joints between turrets and hull. At mark 3:37, we have the type2, 5 regular wheel boogies, it is armed with one light and one heavy machine gun, again, head-on fire can be effective. At mark 4:50, we have the type3; it has 5 to 6 or 8 regular small bogie wheels and with same features. It has a large door on each sides and a small round tunnit at the rear. Ammos consist of a 3.7cm or 1.45inch gun and 2 light machine guns. At mark 6:20, we have the type4 with regular small bogie wheels. Kind of similar to the type3, again with doors on both sides and the rear. It has a 7.5cm or 2.95 inch gun and 2 light machine guns. It has telescopes on two sides. And the same joint between the tunnit and the whole. For its heavy armor it’s very fast. You can distinguish all this by their bogie wheels. At mark 8:15, we have the 4wheeled light armored car. It has a very small tunnit with no roof to it and its crew consists of 2or3. It has one heavy machine gun mounted in the tunnit and one light ione mounted just behind. At mark 9:02, we have the 6 wheeled armored car, with metal guard covering the 2 back wheels, a very long sleeping front with a grill radiatior and a gradalio. It has one heavy machine gun and one light one. Ap and saa at both slit and the join between the tunnit and the whole. At mark 10:04, here is its big brother, a heavy 8wheeled armored car. It has 2 large metal guards covering its two wheels and gradilio. One light and one heavy machine gun, A crew of 4 or 5 and a maximum speed of 50miles an hour.At mark 11:00, we have all the tank types and the armored cars shown. At mark 12:50, we have a 7.5cm or 2.95 inch clear support infiltrate gun, easily manhandled into position. It is a handy weapon with a range of 4000yds and can fire 20 rounds a minute. Another infiltrate weapon is a type of mortar with 5cm or 2inch. Max range 500yards with 10rounds within 20seconds. At mark 14:15, we have a boat which helps to transport the troops. We also have at mark 14:24, a type of fire weapon. It can on be thrown 25 yards and can only last for 1 minute and is harmless unless directed straight at you. At mark 14:56, we also have pole charges which are like torpedoes. They are made of TNT attached to the poles. At mark 15:23, we have the German motorcycle troops which are completely mobile every cycle carries its mg-34. Also at mark 16:00, we have the cycle squadrons, with mg-34 strapped to their vehicle. They are also highly mobile. At mark 16:28, we have the mg-34 being used. It has an accurate range of 3800yards. After firing shots first, crews carry the tool and move to another spot thereby avoiding been detected. It can be extended and can reach a range of 3000fts. They have to be changed after firing shots. They have devastating effects on crafts if been handled properly. At mark 17:42, we have the Ju-52, the German cargo plane. It has low speed and has to come down low to drop its paratroops. At mark 18:30, we have the troops with their parachute. The landing troops also carry their heavy artilleries with them at mark 19:38. These guns are reassembled and can be transported by crafts.
