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 :
Handguns Colt M1911A1 Billy Fiske (voiced by Dominic West ) carries an M1911-like pistol as his sidearm during the London battle.
