Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 The photographer insisted he wouldn't take the photo if the soldiers had magazines inserted. Can't be too careful. The Limey on the left is wondering why he got the TSMG with the missing swivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1952HRA Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Very cool picture I've never seen that one before, I could see why the photographer wouldn't take the picture with the mags in, the left gun has the bolt open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppgcowboy Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Empty mags would solve that. Cool photo non the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Looks like a still from a movie? Regards AlanDSydney I have seen this photo before among some Thompson pictures but don't recall any caption with it.I also wondered if it was a still.but someone among the membership here would likely have told us by now if it was. After all we'll watch anything if there is even a rumor that there is smoke from a Thompson gun in it! The soldier on the left looks older to me and they bear a resemblance to each other but that may just be the mustaches. Could it be a British father and son?

1952HRA Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I just found this picture on the internet, I can't picture this being a very practical or affective way to fight off a German invasion unless you're fighting them in a paved parking lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adg105200 Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Haha. Hurry! The Germans are invading the local roller rink! Makes you wonder if this was serious or not. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirtyround Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 azboater, The colorized Tommy with a Tommy pic reminds me of the last scene in Michael Caine's movie Play Dirty where a Brit cuts him and another guy down at the end where you think they're going to make it back alive. I cant seem to find that clip anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant seem to find that clip anywhere. Play Dirty was filmed in Almeria, Spain, just up the road from me. http://www.western-locations-spain.com/almeria-top-20/playdirty/index.htm A popular setting for many movies, including some of the 'Spaghetti westerns' starring Clint Eastwood.

AlanDavid Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I just found this picture on the internet, I can't picture this being a very practical or affective way to fight off a German invasion unless you're fighting them in a paved parking lotThis photo has appeared in a number of publications about the Home Guard. It would seem one HG unit tried this, the idea being that the guys with roller skates would be used as messengers. Once there was a bit of rubble about it would be game over. Needless to say the idea did not catch on, but became news worthy at the time anyway. Regards AlanDSydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffen Und Bier Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Filmed on location in Spain as was "Rat Patrol". Loved "Play Dirty" for the most part. Except they tried to make it too reflective of the 1960's and featured many of the same technical inaccuracies that were so prevalent in Rat Patrol.
