For anyone who has interest in WWII, this Danish film is a must see. The production includes authentic uniforms, weapons and tactics. You can watch bicycle troops armed with LMG and rifles try to stop an armored column consisting of Sdkfz 221s, a 223, PZ I and PzII! Later in film, you can see a M/C sidecar 20mm a/t gun hit a Pz II and so on. The story is the little known German invasion of Denmark in 1940, where the 'fighting' only lasted a few hours, some of which took place after the government itself surrendered (as also shown in film). It is well worth your time.
Great Escape Games has recently introduced their line of Danish troops, and it looks like it was taken right from the movie. You have infantry, motorcycles, dismounted m/c troops, and supporting weapons. The gang is going to recreate several of the movie scenes on our table in a couple of weeks, and some of the early figures have been completed. Please excuse the shiny effect of the photos, they are indeed matt-finish but I needed to use a flash...
