Various shots of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery talking to several Polish officers at outdoor camp. Various shots of the tanks advancing through countryside. Some dead bodies seen scattered on ground. Distant explosions and smoke seen. Tanks advancing through countryside quite fast. Captured German soldiers seen. More shots of the tanks advancing, firing and being shot at - clouds of smoke seen. Disturbing footage of the men leaving a tank, seem exhausted and some look burned. Pan along a line of tank crew, they seem to be all right. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV. IT
