Clips are not offered for this film: a public-domain mark that nothing bears out (no year, or a year no US term has left).

Not offered: its uploader or archive marks it public domain, and nothing the site holds bears that out (its record gives no year, or a year from 1978 on, which no US term has left), so where it is free is not known. Unclear is not offered. Open it at the Europeana.

About

Exercise ride for jeeps of the Dutch army. has devised an exercise ride for jeeps. The tour starts in Amersfoort and ends in Tilburg and takes 24 hours. The route also goes on untracked paths and through terrain. The almost constant falling rain adds to the difficulty. SHOTS: - Jeeps are parked all over the place; some crews are tinkering with the engine; the participating crews receive the route-maps and study them; - General H.J. Kruls starts the crews on a barracks terrain, with intervals of one minute. The jeeps drive through woods and heather, hills, sandy paths, etc; on the way they pass checkpoints and are held up by farmers crossing the road with cows; they drive at night (only headlights and vague silhouettes are visible) and drag each other out of the muddy roadside when one hits the side of the road; at the end of the ride they drive through the streets of Tilburg and enter the gate of the Koning Willem I Barracks.
