In World War 2, Disney was approached by the Canadian government to create a video in support of their Boys Mk. 1 Anti-Tank Rifle. The video was intended not only to educate troops on how to operate the Boys Anti-Tank Rifle, but also to help the reputation and confidence in the weapon after reported failures against German armor at the battle of Dunkirk. Please remember the historical context of this video and the different lens through which we're seeing it today. Stop That Tank is now in the public domain and may be freely accessed or used by anybody. You can find the archive for free here: Another World War II video I've done on the Japanese plan to drop plague bombs over the US: The video referenced which goes into the history of the PIAT mortar launcher in World War II and its influence on the design of the Fat Man mini nuke launcher in Fallout: Source of the claim about the article in Life magazine (and some very interesting articles to read anyways)
