Hoi,
The big problem is the size of the material .. The video created by the New York chapter can be found on Commons in a REALLY small window. Nice that it is there but it is hardly usable.
There is a military project in many wikipedias certainly in the English language one. They would really appreciate it.. In a similar way, we may be able getting material from the "politionele acties" in Indonesia ... I am not into this really and given my expectation that there may be movies in it, I have kept quiet on it.
Thanks,
GerardM
We've not had direct contact with the Imperial War Museum, but it is
something that I've had on the back of my mind for a while. The
question in my mind is, is there a group of people that has specific
interest in this content, and if so should this be made more of a
priority?
