5m 50s
In this final video of the Rhineland Campaign Weapons series we take a look at the little known role of the British and Commonwealth forces' Vickers Guns. With the help of the @vickersmg we recreated a platoon line consisting of 4 Vickers Guns to recreate the Pepperpot tactics used during Operation Veritable - the western Allies' invasion of Germany. Be sure to check out our accompanying article for this video here - https://armourersbench.com/2021/11/28/vickers-gun-in-the-rhineland/ Earlier this year I had the pleasure of filming some segments on small arms for the new documentary on the Rhineland Campaign – ‘Rhineland 45‘. Not all of the segments I filmed discussing weapons could be included in the finished documentary – I filmed quite a few – so I’m pleased to share a couple here.
