Directed by The McHenry Brothers
Release Date 2010


Jackboots on Whitehall is a 2010 animated action comedy film set in an alternate 1940 during the Second World War, when the failed evacutation of British forces from Dunkirk and heavy losses from the Battle of Britain force the demoralized Prime Minister Winston Churchill to retire. But as Nazi ground forces manage to drill through the English Channel and invade London, it is up to a small band of unlikely heroes led by a farmer named Chris (voiced by Ewan McGregor) to rescue him and form a resistance to thwart the invasion.

Like Team America: World Police, the characters are played by marionettes and the weapons they use are plastic miniature props.


The following weapons were used in the film Jackboots on Whitehall:

Submachine Guns

M1A1 Thompson

Major Rupee uses an M1A1 Thompson submachine gun as his main weapon during the London battle. The variant is anachronistic since it was introduced in 1942; it would be more likely to see the M1928A1 variant as it was in British arsenals at the time.
