Black Watch Snipers - Full Length TV Feature (1 Hour)

Black Watch Snipers tells the epic "band of brothers" story of five men who fought their way through WWII as a team of snipers and scouts.

Their mission: to clear towns of German troops that that would decimate advancing Allied soldiers. This is a "Band of Brothers" story as told by the men who experienced it: the surviving members of a sniper unit from Canada’s most storied Regiment - the Black Watch. They tell vivid, but chilling stories of their deadly solo attacks and encounters with the enemy.

The Black Watch snipers did the dirtiest work in the war, armed with nothing but their wits and their rifles, as they endured the ultimate test of combat in the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi tyranny. Several of the men are still alive to talk about what they went through, and gripping, dramatic re-creations bring their experiences to life. This is their story.

Note: To the best of our ability, we have tested playing these old movies on Apple computers running OSX, as well as Windows based PC's running Internet Explorer, FireFox, Safari and Google Chrome. We've also tested playing them from Apple iPhones and iPads.

However, with so many different combinations of computers and Internet browsers available, plus the huge variation in optional add-on plugins a user can enable on his personal web browser, there's bound to be members who have difficulty playing some of the video content provided on our site.

Most movies start playing in about 5 seconds or less, but at some times of the day there may be heavy video server traffic, so it's important that once you click the PLAY button for any movie, you give it at least 15 to 20 seconds to see if it will actually start. So, please be patient before you jump to the conclusion there's a problem.

If you are having problems playing any of the movies, check the very bottom of the video player box. If you see an optional Menu List of items that are additional titles for the movie, then try clicking on those other entries, which will force the video player to stream alternatively formatted video files from the server. In many cases, these differently formatted video files will solve you issue and play properly on your computer.

If there's no list of other video files to choose from, or none of the options work, then we'd ask you try a different Internet browser to see if the issue is only related to the web browser you use. If you still have the same problem with other web browsers, then please send an email to badger@milsurps.com indicating which movie you are trying to watch, what type of computer you have and its operating system, plus what Internet browser you're attempting to use. We apologize for the inconvenience and we'll try to help you out if we can.

The last 20 minutes of this was inspirational and very very touching it still shows what some of these men had to live with until finally letting out the monster that had tortured them for all these years, I pray that they have found eternal peace with their loved ones again. Thanks ever so much Badger

Thanks for putting that up.

A powerful piece of film.

[speckles]

that was fantastic.

[Surpmil]

The acting was so clueless it was painful to watch in many places, but the veteran's reminiscences were very interesting. Hopefully someone will take the trouble to ask the two gentlemen who survive(?) about their equipment and what was issued to them when, as they are about our last chance to find out.

God Bless Our Allies.
