The Imperial War Museum Collection features rare and fascinating original films preserved in the Museum's archives. These films are of great historical importance and are essential viewing for anyone interested in British military history. The campaign in Burma is remembered bitterly by veterans as 'the forgotten war' - and yet it saw some of the bloodiest combat of the Second World War. Made by the British Army Film Unit in 1945 using film supplied by British, Indian and American combat cameramen, 'Burma Victory' captures all the drama and brutality of the Burma Campaign, making extensive use of combat footage and reviewing the strategy and tactics employed. Directed by Roy Boulting, this film is also the most celebrated documentary to be made about Burma during the war.
