THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM COLLECTION features rare and fascinating original films preserved in the Museum's archive. Many have never been released to the public before and are presented here, complete and uncut, for the very first time. These films are great historical importance and are essential viewing for anyone interested in British military history.
This two disc DVD collection features over THIRTY different wartime films showing how Britons contributed to the defence of the nation, from joining the Home Guard through to contributing scrap and 'Digging for Victory'.
Much of the collection is devoted to rare films covering the formation and training of the Home Guard - or 'Dad's Army' as it was sometimes jokingly referred to. They include 'Citizen's Army', The Dawn Guard', 'Home Guard'. 'Unarmed Combat', 'News From England', 'Platoon Assault on a House', 'Weapons and Equipment' and 'One Man, Two Jobs' and span the length of the war.
Other services covered barrage balloon squadrons in 'Squadron 922' and ARP Wardens in 'Post 23' and 'Night Night', while Wartime stars like Tommy Trinder, Kathleen Harrison and Ronald Shiner are on hand to dish out invaluable advice on everything from scrap and salvage to eating right. There's also plenty of wartime public information films covering everything from the subject from of cheese and growing your own vegetables to tackling incendiary bombs and mending and making do. Other films included here, such as 'Dangerous Comment' and 'You're Telling Me' convey the invaluable wartime message that 'careless talk costs lives'.
Some films in the collection have more to do with bossing morale than practical advice to dispense. In 'Miss Grant Goes to the Door' two elderly sisters help outwit a German spy, while 'Men of the Lightship' recreates the brutal German attack on the East Dudgeon Lightship and 'The Frontline' celebrates life as usual in Dover as invasions looms....
