A beautiful masterpiece with so many great actors like Lieve Ullman, Dirk Boegarde, and other loved and masterful personalities.

Not bad.. the 25 pounders were certainly firing real projectiles as the recoil mechs were working.. There were plenty of 25 pounders still in use when the film was made, and lots of ammunition available. I would assume the battery depicted were all real soldier, although probably reservists! What is wrong is the depiction of the impact. The explosions were much too large and smokey for 25 pdr HE.. they were clearly low explosive fougasse type explosions with lots of oil and pyrotechnics involved. A 25 pounder impact is much faster with a flash and a black smoke puff about a quarter of the size of those depicted...

Definitely live firing and I can tell the gunners are real soldiers as their drills are spot on.

The explosions were totally unrealistic. Way too much smoke and fire.

@@JohnSmith-zv8km I was in the army for 6 years. We didn't have 25 pounders but I served on 105 howitzer crews and have watched many shell impacts. A 105 is very similar to a 25 pounder. We shot up a lot of Texas (Fort Hood). This was in the 1980s but I remember it well. Great movie but the Germans would have been hugging the dirt much tighter. It's not the smoke and fire that kills. It's the shrapnel and that is of course invisible. Notice when they walked the barrage into the tree line. When a shell hits a tree you get what is effectively an air burst which is much more deadly than a ground burst.. The Germans would have been in covered positions (shallow holes with logs, sand bags and camouflage on top). They were also grouped far closer than in reality. One thing they teach you over and over is to maintain your interval.

@@JohnSmith-zv8km Oh and a few of the rounds would have been smoke so the spotters could see them and adjust the fire. Once on target they call "fire for effect" and the entire battery opens up with HE (high explosive)

You know when life has moved on I started with 25 pounders went to 105 and 155 and now my old regiment wears a pale blue beret and flys what looks like toy planes called drones. Only the cap badge is the same ……
