Christmas Under Fire (1941)

Life was shit under the Conservatives.

God bless them all.

The village church scenes were filmed, I believe, in the village of Turville in Oxfordshire.
Check out the brilliant 1942 propaganda film made by Cavalcanti, (a Brazilian), entitled "Went the Day Well?"

Filmed entirely in Turville.

This is also the village, but particularly the church, where the BBC filmed "The Vicar of Dibley," starring Dawn French.

From a former US sailor, thank God the British held on in those dark days of 1940-41. Your sacrafice saved many British and American lives and millions their freedom on the continent from the Iron Curtain. Thanks for posting.

Propoganda. Its always a right laugh but sadly meanwhile on the continent in Christmas 1940 an almost unimaginable nightmare was coming true...

Pewrhaps the "Old USA Way" needs to be rekindled and brought back to full flourish?

Oh it's not so strange. They are acting out against the enemy in the only way available to them.
You see, back then Soldiers were truly heroes that kids held in respect and honor... Unlike todays society.

Yup, up until the 60's, I recall seeing these and other 'battle sets' in Sears, Woolworth's and other stores with toys.

Then the outsourcing to Japan, and Taiwan began and these magnificent hand painted relics disappeared.

victory = enigma cracking

Plus RADAR and the Merlin engine as well.
