The Machine Gun & Skye’s Band Of Brothers

Factual Documentaries, The Open University / 1 x 60' / HD, Airline, DVD, Non-Theatric

A BBC Scotland Production

In 1914, the young men of a Scottish village left their homes to fight in the trenches. Few would ever return. In this touching film, Neil Oliver will reveal how the recruitment of a new weapon by the Germans, a ‘machine gun’, wiped out an entire generation of young Scots. He’ll discover first-hand the killing power of this machine and the impact it had, not only on a single community, but also scores of lives throughout Europe and how it changed the art of warfare forever.
