| Description: | Master 1779 - Tape 1 High angle LS abandoned barn in foothills, Italy. TLS white man wearing trenchcoat opening barn door. Panning MS ceiling of barn. MSs Italian police officers sifting through seized weapons cache on display outside barn: mortar, grenades, rifle clips, rocket-propelled grenades, rifles. VO: "Italian police discover a cache of arms in an abandoned barn, stored there by the communists. Sixteen tons of weapons and ammunition, enough to equip an entire company of troops. Grenades, mortars, machine guns, rifles and bullets: they're all a part of the find. In the last four years arsenals sufficient to supply six divisions have been dug up. Hot tips from disillusioned Italian reds have made recent raids more rewarding than ever." | |
