In Our Hands Review

The Battle for Jerusalem taught me a few things I didn't know.
This was in no way a concise picture of the entire six day war. It concerned three parabrigades that had a hand in the retaking of the old city of Jerusalem.

It was told in Band of Brothers style with reenactments, but a lot of original 1967 footage, probably about 50% of each.

Weapons were FN-49, SKS, AK-47, British Enfield, Mauser K98k, FAL, Uzi, M-2, Thompson, an LMG with top curved mag I can't ID, but looks Czech.

The theater was packed, a lot of old Jews, some in wheelchairs. I talked to a couple of Six Day War vets and they are adamant that they took Jerusalem back and it will stay in Israeli hands until the end of time.

Note: While there are some battle scenes, this is mostly a timeline documentary telling who, what, and why. It's well worth watching.
