Wartime tank manœuvres

Résumé

Directed by René Clément for the army while doing his military service, this film suggested a possible new conception of tank warfare. Before any tank attack, a motorbike rider with an armed guard in his sidecar should reconnoiter the proposed attack route. If enemy action is met along the way, the tanks will be rerouted.
