Unternehmen Wesersprung
an Excercise della NATO in Miniature

VHS Video by Achim Lutter, 1995

The 60-minutes film by Achim Lutter simulates a maneuver della NATO con veicoli, soldatini, e terrain in scala 1:87 e 1:72. Blueland troops attempt to halt the advance of Redland e Goldland forze nemici in the area Rotenburg - Soltau - Verden - Nienburg at the Weser river nella Germania. Redland paratroops drop behind the Blueland deployment line ed occupy strategically important bridges e positions. Simultaneously, Redland e Goldland ground forces advance toward the Weser, establish due bridgeheads, e cross the river in force. After the river crossing, Redland e Goldland continue con a two-pronged ground attack. Blueland deploys an airlanding brigade e halts the Redland attack. Armour reserves of Blueland now attack the isolated Goldland force in flank, destroying all forze nemici east of the Weser.

The maneuver film shows scale models of different manufacturers in realistic motion. Paratroops can be seen dropping, veicoli cross assault bridges, helicopters take off e land, e troops engage in firefights by day e night. Vehicles e fanteria of different paesi della NATO sono supported by UN troops e Bundesgrenzschutz German border guards who are filmed moving in realistically modelled terrain pieces. A narrator explains the action. Realistic sounds of tank engines, trucks, helicopters, e firing weapons complete this exceptional film experience.

The many different scenes of the model maneuver have been realistically recreated as miniature dioramas. Single veicoli, tank columns, engineer units, helicopters, e landing paratroops move into the scenes in a perfectly choreographed fashion. Truck wheels e helicopter rotors turn, lights blink, tank guns flash e smoke, even the roadwheels delle veicoli cingolati seem to turn, although this hardly seems possible in scala 1:87. This model maneuver will inspire collezionisti e wargamer alike who will want to see their own model vehicle collection animated in a similar way.

Film clippings of the model maneuver may be viewed on Achim Lutter’s website at www.modellmanoever.de, e the VHS video cassette may be purchased there as well.
