(28 Jul 1974) STORY
When the fourth Arab-Israeli war broke out on October 6th 1973, there were no foreign cameramen present to record the Egyptian crossing of the Suez Canal. But in 1974 the Egyptian Third Army staged a full-scale reconstruction and invited us to film it. They showed us how their new equipment, most of it Russian, had been used to smash through the Bar-Levline and get two infantry and two armoured divisions across the Canal within a matter of hours. Remarkable, historic footage, exclusive to WTN.
