| Description: | GAZETTE "CAVALRY AND TANKS WILL ADVANCE." Italy. Various shots of the cavalry and tanks manoeuvres on mountainous terrain with many obstacles. Several shots of the fast tanks advancing across difficult terrain, including up and down hills, through water, over a barricaded bridge, etc. One great shot of a tank coming over a very steep incline then dropping down the other side violently. Various shots of the troops on horseback advancing alongside tanks. Cavalry charging over the hill, very fast. Tanks and men on horseback are seen carefully sliding down a very steep hill. Various shots of the tanks and cavalry advancing up the hill, including many small, apparently one-man tanks. On their way up the hill, at least two of them get stuck in the loose earth. Several night shots of the troops resting around the fire after long day. | |
