About this film
National Archives Identifier: 24416 mislabeled as "Provisional Infantry Antitank Battalion Etc 1941" (film bulletins were not released until 1942) Not in the greatest shape. National Archives description "Part 1 demonstrates at Ft. Meade, Md., how an antitank battalion operates against an enemy. Guns and vehicles rush to vantage points and shoot at tanks. Part 2 shows tests of 37-mm and 57-mm guns firing point blank at armor at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. Part 3, various bombs are dropped on 8-inch, reinforced walls in tests at Aberdeen." As always, any error or typo is mine and if you enjoy my uploads or if you intend to make $ or otherwise profit from these files, please consider making a donation to a veteran's charity of your choice and/or Archive.org itself. Thanks.
