Hello all,
For your your pleasure, here is the link of the short movie "Ce matin qui dura six ans" (This morning which lasted six years) directed by Eric Labelle and in which many Quebec WWII vehicle collectors and reenactors took part.
The action takes place on the south bank of the Dives river in Normandy in the last hours of the battles of the Falaise gap. The German soldiers face the American and Canadian troops and must try to cross the Dives by the straight of Moissy to thus withdraw by the town of Chambois and the hill 262 which open the road for a strategic withdrawal towards the Seine river.
Three soldiers are the protagonists of this story, a German, an American and a French Canadian and all three find themselves, as the fighting rages around them, they come from the same ancestor in Germany.
Don't be too harsh in your analysis of this short movie. Eric was short of all, budget, material, uniforms, times but we were enough in WWII vehicles. Despite that, he made an outstanding job with the few that he had.
Enjoy it.
