Hearts of Oak- Pathéscope

This is a video that I digitalised from a 300ft Pathéscope reel. It is a film about the raid on Zeebrugge in 1918 The film recreates this event in a mixture of authentic WW I material including captured German film,drama and special effects using models. This film is an episode from an series of dramatized war docu’s that was produced by a company called British Instructional Film . The original title was “Zeebrugge“ and it was first released in 1924
