Vigilant Switzerland

[Nick]

Just found this wonderful piece of Swiss military propaganda from 1964. It's so good it was nominated for an Oscar in 1965. 

It's all about how the Swiss would defend their nation.
Slow start but when the Hunter flies over at 4:20 it all kicks off!
Later on we see river crossings, bridge building, Alpine ski troops, Hunters flying through the mountains, river assaults, an entire squadron of Hunters overflying Centurion tanks!
Urban attacks with flamethrowers, Bangalore torpedos, Hunters and Venoms dropping bombs and rockets on ground targets.

Extreme Gardening at 19 minutes!
When the Swiss Flag flies at the end, count the Hunters

Good find! What a fantastic production. Really cool seeing Vampires and Hunters in action.

Good, positive, piece of propaganda.

Cracking vid that, most impressive. 

Those 'Vampires' are actually Venoms though.

Reminds me of the days that I spent in the RauxAF running around Yardley Chase 'playing soldiers ' until one of the officers lost their rifle and got captured by the enemy.
