A7V Replica in 1942 Film
Permalink   

We've discussed the dummy A7V in a British WWII film a few times.

Assuming the film was made by the Ministry of Information, there's no sign of it on Wkipedia's list of such films. Could Wikipedia be wrong? Whatever next?

The only firm documentation we have up to now is thIs list: http://www.south-central-media.co.uk/chrono_list.htm

But this would seem to confirm: 

A good time in Brighton - postcard posted Tuesday 4th August 1942

The War in Dorset - August 1942

During August the propaganda film ‘Victory’ was shot on the Dorsetshire heaths using old First World War tanks rescued by Rudyard Kipling for the Armoured Fighting School at Bovington Camp. Many had been turned into scrap in June 1940 but some remained as stationary pillboxes and were used in the film.
