Derailment of a WWII military train: brilliantly captured on film

- Опубликовано: 25 апр 2024
- This is a highlight of the film La Bataille du Rail, which was made in honour of French railway workers that apposed to the Nazi's during the second World War. La Bataille du rail is a 1946 French war film directed by René Clément. It depicts the efforts by railway workers in the French Resistance to sabotage German military transport trains during the Second World War, particularly during the Invasion of Normandy by Allied forces. Many of the cast were genuine railway workers.
The film was shown at the 1946 Cannes Film Festival where it won the Prix international du jury and Clément won the Best Director Award. The film also won the inaugural Prix Méliès. A compilation of all railway shots of this movie: • How railway workers he...

For those who are interested, this was filmed in Brittany, near Trégrom on the Plouaret-Lannion line.
My mistake, it's rather on the Plouaret-Guingamp line, but I'm going to do a bit more research. It's not far from where I live, anyway.
@@kernicole Have the wrecks been removed or are they still lying around today?
@@s1d2f3 As far as I know, they've been removed. I was told (30 years ago) that the scars were still visible, but that the site was not easily accessible. It's only about 20km away, so if the weather improves, I might try to do some exploring. If so, I'll be back here one day.
@@kernicole That would be great
@@s1d2f3 Well, I'm back sooner than I expected. The weather staying quite reasonable, I decided to take the car and explore for myself. Fruitlessly, until I was lucky enough to meet up with the mayor of the village, who was kind enough to act as a guide. As is often the case, it's easy to find when you know! What you can't see in the film is that the embankment runs over a river (the Léguer). This is chanelled through three long tunnels at the base, one of which has a footpath running through it. Before this, there is now a picnic area - it's a beautiful spot - and the event is commemorated by two large photos, one showing the locomotive at the moment of derailment, the other showing the villagers all watching and waiting, with a team of gangers who are there to put the rails back afterwards. I could find no visible vestiges, for one simple reason. In the days of steam, all vegetation was kept well back from the tracks. But that ended fifty years ago, and since then Nature has flourished. It's even hard to see that there's a railway there.Still, it satisfied my curiosity. I hope you.find this helpful.
That feeling when a black and white movie from the last century is more spectacularly shot than modern movies with 3d graphics.
I was just thinking, only someone like Tarantino or Noland might have the balls to shoot an actual train crashing instead of doing it with CGI
Real effects are the best, CGI can go kick fake rocks
By amateurs.
That really was an amazing 80 year old scene 💯
REALITY beats the BEST CGI every time!
This is not an actual WW2 movie. This is a scene from the 1946 French film “The Battle of the Rail”. This scene was filmed in Brittany.
Are you sure because that looks like a waste for a bunch of now rare German vehicles

The French Resistance was was larger than the population of France once the War was over.

lol so True
A classic of all wars
@@MultiDivebomber After the war was won, all the French (in a manner of speaking) were suddenly in the Resistance. Not.
But larger than the population of France? There was French resistance that wasn't part of the population?
The accordion falling makes it 10x funnier.

Not sure Thomas had a weird German trail. He did have a Japanese one though.
Me finding out this was a movie and not real: my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
But it happens in real life.
I kinda noticed. the movements are like when I watch thomas
You knew because there were multiple camera angles, which the real resistance couldn't have pulled off.
Review Brah for the win!! 🤣🤣
@@doglover31418 Yeah they had me till the accordion came rolling down the hill lol. To be fair I was baked as a potato at the time ;D
The irony of this scene is that Museums and private collectors would pay nowadays so much more for all those scrapped vehicles than this movie ever could have hoped to make.
But then again why would people care at this time, when these vehicles were still available in abundance.
The object of the film was not to make money.
Even more ironic is that the accordion destroyed here was worth more than all of these German vehicles combined. It was indeed none other than the first accordion, invented by the artisan Friedrich Buschmann. My jaw dropped when I saw it rolling down the hill. Only the French are capable of such atrocities!

78 years later, it looks more real than most anything coming out lately.
Because it was real. Even if It's not real combat footage, It was a real derailment, with true Nazi equipment. This is from the French movie "la bataille du rail", "Battle of the rail", filmed just after the war. A tribute to French railway workers who paid an heavy price for their action. Many shot, or deported. This French movie was filmed in 1945/1946. It took months, if not years, to scrap all this metal.
That because it was real, this was filmed in 1946.
@@scottupole6535 Yes, that's well after Germany's surrender. That statement alone does not infer that it's real. It just might have been done with real equipment.
@@inebriatedengineering6288 Well, you said that it "looks more real than most anything coming out lately", so it's a little bit late for backpedaling now. These days nobody is effed in the head enough to derail an actual long train full of military equipment like that just for a movie shooting. So, of course it looks "more real". Better chance to shoot another human landing on the Moon than recreate that.
@@getsideways7257 im sorry but you forget the unhinged level of power the right amount of money can get you. guaranteed you could do this today, with enough coin to shush anyone who complains.
According to a bit of research this is from the film mentioned. There were quite a lot of German army vehicles still around , so the vehicles were real , the people were not
Imagine if the camera jammed, you can't really have a second take.
It was a real derailment, with true Nazi equipment. This French movie is "La bataille du rail", filmed just after the end of the war. It took months, if not years, to scrap all this metal.
That’s why you bring like several cameras for every angle so you never miss it
Imagine what those war machines would be worth today if they were intact. They sell for a lot.
My understanding is this was a movie shot in france with real german war equipment after the war. Imagine what all that would be worth now.
For those who would like to decry the French resistance, be aware that by 1944 there were at least 400,000 active members of the French Resistance. Considering that, on occasions, the Germans would execute an entire village in revenge for sabotage and that capture was an automatic death sentence, the bravery of these people is without question. Especially around D-Day they were instrumental in sabotaging troop movements and disrupting communications, often in cooperation with allied special forces. I should add, I'm British. We aren't known for our fondness for the French, but it is infuriating to see people make light of their efforts and their sacrifice.
Very true. The Danish and Norwegian resistance were also extremely brave and effective.
The French rail workers' union requested that we stop attacking the railways as they thought their sabotage could do the job better.
The resistance was 90% Commies. They were the only ones who hated the Nazis enough to fight against them.
They were nothing other than sadists and vicious murderers.
While their motives were heroic they are technically war criminals, like every insurgent/partisan, as their actions tend to bestialize a conflict further. Partisans usually don’t take prisoners, wear no uniforms and their actions will result in retaliation towards the civilians out of desperation.
You can see the results of such warfare in WW2 France and Russia, Vietnam and nowadays in Gaza.
“Luckily, no one was hurt.”
Only a few scratches.
But there was confusion and delay, and the Fat Controller was VERY cross.
@@wakt21 Those troublesome trucks!
The fact it was done on full scale alone is mindblowing. 😮
Especially the fact they did it for a movie nobody heard of...
A lot of ignorant clowns on this topic. It was a real derailment, with true Nazi equipment. This French movie is "La bataille du rail", filmed just after the end of the war. It took months, if not years, to scrap all this metal.
Lots of money in the steam engine & all of the rail cars in the train. Seems like a waste to me, maybe its because I am getting old & feel diminished when I see so much waste for a short video clip for a movie.
@@guytech7310 The war wore out tens of thousands of pieces of rolling stock. That engine and the freight cars were probably heading to the scrap yard anyway. I'm wondering if those are mannequins or French collaborators standing in the half-tracks and self-propelled guns.
@@fredkitmakerb9479 Sure buddy. Those old flat railcars I seen built in the 1940s that are still in service today, must be a figment of my imagination!
At any rate, some had to spend a lot of time cleaning up that mess with all those rail cars scattered down that hill.
But just saying this is a WW2 train is still misleading which is why it is important to clear up that it was AFTER the war. Many people in the comments think this is actual war footage
To be honest, this can only be a staged scene, the Resistance didn't have camera teams out and about filming it from different angles
The clear giveaway is the fact it was captured from multiple angles.
A great way to stop someone from playing that damn accordion!
Can’t say I’ve ever seen tanks ricocheting off other airborne tanks before.. this might be the most intense crash I’ve ever seen
I don't think you could ever possibly hope to have a glimpse of anything like this. Back in the day people were real crazy...
Director: "Cut. Great scene! That's a wrap."
Camera operator: "Wait, I hadn't finished loading film in the camera...."
😱

You see a German soldier playing it to his mates aboard the train earlier in the run. The film is worth watching for the locomotives alone
Communist "humor".
@@user-ox7xr8nu4t What does this have anything to do with communism?
@@MrMcFish219 Are you dumb? The so-called "resistance" was comprised mostly of Communists and other criminals, in all countries where they became active.
Самое интересное что про французское Сопротивление в основном помнят во Франции, а советских партизанах знают и в самой Германии, но о польских подпольщиков даже в самой Польше не все помнят.
Once I left my accordion in the back of my pickup, when I came back there was a note left under the windshield, "Since your heading to the dump anyway thanks for taking along this bagpipe."

La même chose pour moi !
That accordion playing its final notes is absolutely hilarious!
Labiche you successfully stopped my train full of artworks.
That was my first thought, too.
THE BEST WWII movie ever: "The Train"
Actual trains used in the film. Not toys like this one.......
For some reason I always think of that French engineer "accidentally" steaming those two or three Germans as he passes them in the yard.@@az8theist977
John Frankenheimer 1964. No CGI, real old trains and great turns from Scofield and Lancaster as rivals of wartime desperation. RIP to Bernard Smith Theoden Hill, 79.
WHAT ABOUT MY TRAIN!? -Paul Scofield. Excellent Nazi depiction.
The expert cinematography and multiple angles along with the sound effects, especially for the accordion, leave no doubt in my my mind as to the authenticity of this clip! Hahaha!
Pretty much everyone with an ounce of brain matter in the comments section understands this is not a real WWII footage. Still, it's a real effing TRAIN we are talking about here. How about pulling that off these days?
Am i understanding this correctly? It's 1946 and the war has left the french economy in shreds along with much of it's infrastructure. And they chose this time to wreck a load of useful rolling stock just to make a movie scene.
It may not have been useful.
If I'm a French railway executive in that era, and I'm approached with an offer like this, you bet I'm going to unload the very worst stock I have. The cars that are so old and deteriorated that we can't use them for normal service even though we do badly need every car. And you bet I'm asking a higher price for them then I could get from the scrapper.
The film crew obviously bought the rolling stock from the company who needed the money 🙄
My thoughts exactly. Amazing what could be done back in the day.
Maybe -- just maybe -- they didn't need as many tank-transporter flat cars in 1946 as they had in 1945?
Do tanks need their own special flatcars?@@beeble2003
That’s remarkably destructive and the rolling accordion giving its last wheeze is a final touch of brilliance!
If you want to watch a really good movie about WWII French Resistance watch The Train. Burt Lancaster and a very good cast.
"The Train," directed by John Frankinheimer, is one of my favorite films!
@@jamesfenoff John Frankinheimer and Burt Lancaster sound like a legit part of the WWII French Resistance :)
En plus les différents crash effectués étaient fait avec du vrai matériel qui, de toutes façons, était destiné à la destruction.
I watched this film on British TV about 1960. It was broadcast on the occasion of a visit by President de Gaulle. I especially remember this clip.
Man look at all that military hardware that was lost 😮
There was a little change in the world's political situation that meant much less military hardware was needed in 1946, when this was filmed, than in 1945.
They could have sold it off to some Middle Eastern countries in a few years if they’d hung in to it
"You have been a very silly engine" said The Fat Controller
WHAT??? No Hollywood explosion, no nuclear attack and the earth core still intact? Must be a real movie....

So bizarre the Germans used slaves to make / maintain equipment. What did they think would happen?
Beautifully filmed - the self-playing accordion at the end provides a fitting (and humorous) finale!😂
That thing played some jazzy sounding chops. I was digging it before it stopped so abruptly.
French post-war movies with german armor captured or abandonned. In 1946, country side was covered with wrecks and vehicule.
About the accordéon, if I remember, in the scene before this one, you see a german soldier playing with it on the train.
After WW2, Le Monde had a classified ad. "3 million surplus French army rifles for sale. Never fired. Dropped only once."
Wow, the French resistance set up multiple camera angles and edited all the shots together AND kept out of the way of the train ? Professional stuff.
You do realize this was a scene from a movie right? Maybe that's why it looks professional.

Correct -- see all the other comments.
@@beeble2003 Even if it's a movie, the train is real
Les images de ce déraillement servent souvent à illustrer les documentaires sur la 2è guerre mondiale mais il ne s'agit aucunement d'un fait réel mais d'une scène du film de René Clément la bataille du rail sortit en 1946 et qui rend hommage à la résistance des cheminots français face à l'occupant nazi.
The accordion caught me off guard
Seeing the different German armoured vehicles just bouncing around is comically hilarious for me for some reason
No rabbits, squirrels, snakes or mice were harmed in the making of this scene.
Who cleaned up this whole mess???
Local scrap dealers. It took years to clean this place. It was a real derailment, with true Nazi equipment. This French movie is "La bataille du rail", filmed just after the end of the war.
There's nowhere that high in the Netherlands
It’s in France not The Netherlands.
Thought it was common (and legal) to get high in the Netherlands...
The accordion made me laugh so hard, good to see my humour would work in any year in history.
This is from a film from 1946. If you think Bummers blew up tracks and set up a camera immediately to the right of the derailment, I can't help you.
It's only missing Americans gasping "Oh my Gaaad!"
Why go there? I think thou dost protest too much.
very true, there always this fat american woman screaming...o my gaaad....
Americans? This was filmed in Brittany, a French region.
HORRRYYY SHIEEETT
I know this isn’t meant to be funny, but the accordion did make me giggle.
Insane.
Tank crash inside the locomotive and then this happens:
"Can you pass me the radio? Thanks! Hi, this is tank...uhm, what number are we?"
"Five five!"
"Tank fifty-five! Uh, we're in a train!"
Brilliant filming, for some reason made me burst out laughing, must have been fun to set this up and film it. Love the accordion at the end. I thought it looked like there were people on those tanks 😮... Thank you for sharing this clip!
The germans had a bad habit of shipping crews with vehicles. You can see soldiers flying out of the half tracks.
and what is the fun?
I saw all kinds of guys in there, I was shocked. Played at slowest speed.
@@dustbowlhammer7119including real people in your movie stunt train crash seems a little insensitive, even for 1946.

@@dustbowlhammer7119 It's not real. It's from a Rene Clement movie.
Whatever you think about the resistance, many brave people gave their lives as members. Don't denigrate the sacrifice of the brave (relatively) few just because the many chose not to take the risk.
Those with families (kids or perhaps old parents) not so easy to put themselves at risk. But fast forward 20 years, all of Europe adopted socialism. France is subject to Germany via the European Union, as well as the United states since Europe is pretty much a providence of the US.
And don't denigrate the accomplishments of those who actually fought in the resistance by just blindly passing out accolades to everyone without question.
@@1SciFiGeek508this. Sad how many French “claimed” they were in the resistance. Even BEFORE they fell after six weeks brave souls
That accordion at the end was the icing on the cake for such a mind blowing event.
I love the fact that the music of the accordion being played by falling which matches perfectly with the scene of the train derailment.
This is a sequence from a French film La Bataille du Rail made just after the war. A wonderful tribute to the brave staff of the SNCF. If you ve not seen it , watch it. It’s terrific and the trains are real.
Thank you I want to look up that film now and see if it's on RUclips
I believe years ago I saw a subtitled version with English captions but not been able to find it again.
I have a copy but I think it came from Taiwan! It is a remarkable film with some incredible sequences. Well worth watching.
That was painful to watch
Old school stunts are amazing because they are real. Nowadays there is no excitement from stunts, because they are mostly fake, and can be made as grandiose as can be imagined. Even the realization that a stunt _could_ be fake puts an asterisk beside everything. When I watch an old film and see something like this, I can only appreciate the amount of hassle (and danger!) that went into doing it. The sacrifice required is precisely what gives these films (and most anything in life) value. Anything which is easy or requires little effort or risk to produce is by definition not valuable.
Albert Speer, head of German armaments production, was asked about the effect of the French Resistance. His reply: "What French resistance?"
One of the best real life train crash footage ever made
You saw some other ones anywhere close enough in scale?
Финал шикарный)))
The love the end bit with the concertina, classic 😂
That accordion gave it away!😆
I love the thought that the filmmakers had someone “recite” the sounds of an accordion rolling down a hill for that audio. Adds a really creative bit of comedy. The mic drop of the time
"Oooohhhh Heeeeelpppp"- cried Gordon as he slides off the tracks into the field
Imagine being on the crew that had to clean that mess of scrap up. 🦖
Incredible that this was shot with real trains and tanks. Have so many questions I'd love to learn answers to!
1) How was the train running without a driver inside? How does one start a train and let it run without a driver?
2) How exactly does one trigger a derailment at an exact spot, and towards one specific side? Would've ruined the shot if the train fell off the other side of the hill... or did they have two camera crews on either side?
3) Why didn't anything catch fire?
4) Did the producers have to pay for cleaning up the mess?
This is from the French movie "La bataille du rail", "The battle of the rail". Filmed immediately after the war as a tribute to French railway workers, who paid a huge toll for their actions. Many were shot or deported. Thanks to them, many Nazi reinforcement convoys had been delayed or prevented, notably during the Battle of Normandy. This derailment is real, with real Nazi equipment. It had taken years to clean the site.
My guess is that the train was being pushed.
Holy shit this would have been BRUTAL
Well, it was brutal alright. Or do you mean with real people on board?
Miniatures?
Non, extrait du film ”La bataille du rail” de René Clément. La locomotive qui a fait le grand saut est une 280 ”Pershing” livrée à la fin le prenière guerre mondiale.

Idiot
I really appreciate ignorant morons, mostly anglo US twats with their dirty mouths full of vomit, who always remember the 1940 failure, who was an accident, forgetting centuries of victories and domination. Through more than 1500 years, France is the country with the highest rate of military victories, often alone against entire coalitions, and when north America was still a desert populated by Indian nations. All true historians know it. The greatest battle ever was a French victory : the carnage of VERDUN, 1916. The only wars that US public have ever experienced near them are watching Hollywood Spielberg stuff in movie theaters, or mass shootings, their national sport.
The French 1940 failure was an accident for many reasons, such as the devastating French losses of World War I, which are still visible 22 years later, as this previous war was mostly fought on French soil. 1.4 million killed and 4.5 million injured. For a population of 40 million. Entire generations. And the population of Germany in 1914 and 1940 was 70 million, almost twice the French. The sea saved the English, otherwise they would have been crushed like all Europe. Russians were crushed during 2 years, with a population of 188 million and a territory 10 times larger than France in the European part of the USSR. During World War II they had lost over 5 million prisoners. And US 1940 army would have been pulverized by the Nazi blitzkrieg. Even in 1944, their troops were saved more than once by their air forces. Pathetic.

Wow, that is so violent! I would imagine that a train derailment is one of the most terrifying vehicle accidents that you could imagine!
The accordion at the end was a nice touch.
Damn! at first I thought this was very good model work, but then I realized it was all real equipment! Really impressive filmmaking
When I saw the accordion, I almost expected Larry, Moe and Curly to roll down the hill next.
