history
The first thing you have to realize is, the movie / TV industry in general, are concerned with entertaining their audience , the truth nearly always comes last .
I was mixed up in the making of the Dunera Boys , a TV telemovie series depicting the Jewish refugees shipped out to Australia from the UK during 1940. These people ended up in a internee camp.
The props lady on the set ( Point Cook I think it was ) didn't have a clue re: the correct vehicles for that period . I politely pointed out what would be correct , but she said " there is a Jeep in the script , so we want a Jeep "
