An old war movie show them in real action on the beach with the foreign legion after a landing action !

Do You know the name of the movie?

It's real movie of information "de la France en guerre".

You can find them if I remeber in the ECPAD site.

The french landed H39 tanks, but the OOB show AMD 178 (X 13) but i didn't find any photos of them on the ground.....and a lot of units wich were officialy part of the CEFS didn't have time to leave to scandinavia but were thrown against the blitzkrieg in France.

I'm looking for info on those AMD 178 and all info on the german side are welcome too (OOB, units presents etc ....) like german organisation of a gebirgsjager platoon and company!

best regards
paco

Yes I think it was the 5th demie brigade de chasseurs which was destroyed at Saint Valéry en Caux.

THX a lot
I've scanned that site and found a lot of interesting original footage, not only WW2
the one about Norway was the landing operation in Bjerwik (or so) where I could see dark shadows of very small turetted AFV swarming out on the beach. And a lot of other interesting stuff of course; apparently the 13e DBLE always wore helmets for the cameras.

Hmmm. Those Brits in greatcoats could prove inspirational for a 'what if' Argentina plus the Graf Spee invasion of the Falklands circa 1939.

They'd also be perfect as Australians for Bardia 1941.

That is why that I have stopped looking at them.....for now.

even if they add support weapon packs, the numbers won't exceed 20...
which is a reasonable size...
btw, the H39 were schlepped all through to Cameroon and wasted in Syria....
