left handed lee enfield

[britguy]

just been watching Battlefield Mysteries on tv an episode entitled ''who killed Michael Wittman'' and there is an allied soldier firing a left handed enfield (no4 i think) does anyone have one? are they rare? or is it some video trickery?

No left hand LEs are known to exist. This a result of film being reversed.

Yeah, too bad too.

I'd be all over one like a fat kid on a Smartie!

The same would go for a LH Mauser 98.

Like my old Sargent use to say, there are no left handed soldiers in the Army.

You took your glasses off when you paraded too. Every soldier was perfect.

My Grandfather told me stories of having his left hand tied behind his back to cure him of left handedness.

That was the way they "corrected" southpaw schoolchildren in Soviet Russia....

I knew an 8th Army veteran who had only one eye when he was conscripted.

Leo Major only needed one.

What a show though, huh? If 1 guy taking a leak had held it a little longer, one of the most famous tank rampages ever might have been stopped.

Took a P-47 to put an end to Whitman. Even a tiger tank can't stand a 500lb bomb or rockets

No, it was the Sherbrooke Fusiliers Regiment.

Didn't you watch the show?

Nevertheless, the gunnery of the Northamptonshire Yeomanry was absolutely superb that day.

"..."corrected" southpaw school children in Soviet Russia..." That's how it was done in Canadian schools long ago too. Unless it was a school run by nuns. They had sticks.
"...Took a P-47 to put an end to Whitman..." Canadian tankers got him.

Good show. It's on every few weeks it seems.

And if it had been an aircraft the got Wittman it would have been a Typhoon, not a P47.
