Like most classic campaigns, Dayan's Sinai triumph rested heavily on surprise. "Nasser disposed his troops very well," said an Israeli colonel. "Egyptian preparations were quite logical. Our plans were not." But more than anything else, the Israelis, inferior to the Egyptians in number and equipment, relied on the kind of dashing, hard-driving tactics with which George Patton confounded the Germans in his 1944 armored dash across Europe. Israeli units which outran their supply continued to push forward as long as they had ammunition, and at least one battalion fought for two days without food...

Unfortunately some technical imperfections date the pre-war film and mar its polish. The color reproduction is inferior, and the animation cannot always respond to the musical rhythms.
