Soldiers and explorers have now with German thoroughness investigated the living conditions and military suitability of the eskimo-style igloo and have found it offers protection against not only wind and cold but also against detection and bombardment. Sorge's voice then describes the method of construction over film of a platoon of mountain troops building an igloo on the side of a mountain. Finding a suitable site, laying out tools, clearing and tracing foundations, cutting and sledge- transportation of snow blocks, building up rings, careful positioning of final blocks. Basically complete igloo now has curved entrance tunnel added, brushwood, canvas and blankets laid inside and ice-pane windows inserted in the roof. Soldiers enter igloo taking care to bring their tools inside and then close the entrance before settling down. Construction time for a practised team is one hour and Sorge adds that igloo making is fun. 546 In German. 590 PFA 1604-01-2976. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last checked: 2012/03/ 01 good condition. 650 0 Igloos|xConstruction. 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Documentaries and factual works.|2mim 655 7 War documentaries.|2mim 655 7 Instruction.|2mim 690 German films. 700 1 Sorge, Ernst. 710 1 Germany.|bHeer.|bHeeresfilmstelle. 710 2 Wehrkreisfilmstelle II. 946 PFA 1604-01-2976.
