Do you know anymore about what the film is about or who was filming it? Ok Jack glad you like it. Yes it is the same place as the the last lot of Bad Lads Army was filmed. On this occasion the film company was 'History in the Making' and I understand it is the story of the relief / liberation of Belsen. I was told that the scene we saw being filmed was of the liberating forces being hit by good old friendly fire !!! I was also told that it was being filmed for Channel 4. Please notice the careful use of the words "I was Told" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Hardyferret Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 It has been brought to my attention that I have not made it clear that I cannot take full credit for all of the above photographs but that some credit must also be given to Hardyferret. :-( but mine are the best :-D and he wouldn't have taken any of them if I hadn't told him what was happening. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeEnfield Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Great Pic's; Was planning to watch this, tonight. Trailer looks good. Where abouts in Dorset ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Hardyferret Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Location is the Old Cordite factory at Holton Heath, Near Wareham in Dorset. The site was last used as Admiralty Research Establishment. Had to stop watching the programme............... Woman in the Typhus hospital was to be given an injection, She went mad and attacked the nurse. When a new nurse asked why she reacted so,the reply was the patient thought the injection was benzin - the germans injected them with benzine so they would burn faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 First thoughts. Quite a good coverage on a part of the history of Belsen that I know little about. However, the constant waving around of the camera is really iritating and the constant fast waving of the searchlights in the air is a bit odd. Maybe they should have employed more people with steady hands to hold the damn things still . Not too sure why they would need to keep running the searchlights at high speed over the Kommandanteur?

LeeEnfield Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Watched it with a mixture of sympathy and horror; A lot of the newsreel shots, I'd not seen before, OK, they may not have been from the real Bergan-Belsen, ......but harrowing non the less. The portrayal of the medics was very well done, I thought,....these guys 'dropped' into a hellhole, that they could not have even imagined, and basically told to get on with it,..........start saving lives. Only the British Army could have allowed the german camp staff to march away, (ok, in vehicles, I know,.........) untouched and in full combat mode. Something I'd not heard or read about, before. Certainly would buy the dvd, if it becomes available. *did anyone spot the blooper, though ?? (well, I don't think I imagined it. :whistle:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm sure there was a heavy humber in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I'm sure there was a heavy humber in there. Think the humber was in the orig news clips, that were interspersed in prog. Great to see one, as they seem to be rather rare, in preservation, these days........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
