The East movie
Don't know much about Dutch operations in the NEI in the immediate post-war period, so have no idea of the accuracy of the above mentioned movie released in 2020.
From an equipment perspective, CMP trucks, jeeps (some fitted with 7.50-16 tyres by the looks of their size), an interesting assortment of period British, US and Japanese firearms, uniforms that are a mix of camouflage coveralls (like USMC issue), khakis and greens; and webbing that is a mix of '37 and '44 pattern equipment with some interesting little mods. The web equipment is sloppily worn by actors who appear to be carrying very little weight.
Strange sort of movie but worth watching for all the 'kit' if nothing else.
