Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

    Amazing footage.
    (Wish they'd chosen different music)

    Surprising that they didn’t show the scuttling of the fleet.

    Interesting, though mostly a compilation of stills that give the appearance of a video.
    The monitor HMS Lord Clive appears several times but then changes to a different ship with the same sub-titles - possibly HMS Marshal Soult which appears later.
    In the case of the German submarine labelled as having torpedo tubes fixed to the sides - these are actually mine canisters.
