    Correcting this clip's current date range of 1940-49, the date of this event was 16 March 1939.

    The elderly man with the moustache is Marechal Philippe Petain.

    The opening shots as the men cross the bridge are shot in Hendaye, in France. Presumably the shots that follow are shot in Spain.
