Movies of the actual Battle of Bardia for reference and painting

With all this theroycrafting I should watch the existing film of the ACTUAL battle and its aftermath.

 

 A long setup to the battle with the troops getting to the middle east. A ships cat. Weirdly it shows Crusader I's I think, but refers to the Matilda's. Maybe from later on in the war? The camo on them is post early 41. Also has some German troops from much later!  Looks Vickers light tanks with the .50 cals on training beforehand. All painted sand colour (or covered in it). Dark colored Bren Gun Carries but caked in sand to the half way point. Has a light colored field ambulance. Captured Italian tanks attacking Tobruk. Mention of the 2/1 Field Park Engineers and 2/3rd  Battalion wearing light colored clothes in shorts and short sleeves and cloth covered helmets I suspect are training. Everyone else is in the dark Khaki.  A Cruiser tank of some sort WITH Bren gun pintle mount!

Content warning: Dead bodies past the 16:30 mark.

 Raw footage that shows up a lot in other videos. Shows troops in dark Khaki tops but most are wearing light shorts, post battle when going on patrol(?). Guards are wearing greatcoats, it must have been very cold. Terrain is filmed from the and consists of buildings, compounds, sand and dirt dunes and lots of abandoned trucks. Whitewashed Libyan buildings for the centre of town. Trucks have camonets over them. The desert has lots of bunkers, sangers, emplacements, walls and ground floor ruins. Lots of flat space with sparse rocks. 

Content warning: Dead bodies past the 6:15 mark. 

Mostly terrain, destroying buildings and trucks moving about. The staff cars often have a camonet on them.

Looks like the Matilda II's have Cuanter Camouflage, which is going to be very hard for me to paint. I suspect I'll just cover it in sand colour, which they ended up being anyway. I should put a pennant on the command tank.

Content warning: Dead Italian artillerymen who fell a their guns around 2:40 mark

The 18 pounder crews are wearing slouch hats! More Cuanter Camouflage for Bren Gun Carriers, but at least one looks to be painted a dark green. Only one of the many carriers seen has a pintle mounter Bren gun, so it did happen, but wasn't common.

25 pounders and this time the crews wear helmets and great coat, which makes me think the earlier ones were after the battle. Looks like a Rolls Royce Armored car with Boys AT rifle and Bren gun in an open top. So I COULD get one. One of the trucks has a pintle mounted(?) Bren gun behind the cabin. Troops are wearing dark Khaki clothes and great coats., Helmets are light (presumably sand colored).  Telegraph poles, small single trees in the town. Also a Vickers light tank with .50cal crossing a tank trap after the battle.

Mostly post battle. Lots of rocks and sangers in the terrain, 4.5" howitzers, though they would not have been on the table! The guns have camo on them, and nets. 18 or 25 pounders and the crews are all wearing dark Khaki.

Content warning: Dead Italian infantry who fell at their posts at 1:30 mark. Sad part is seeing the family photos from one of them.
