Den stora militärspexboxen DVD (3 disc)

BOMBS AND GRENADES! Just as the Swedish Armed Forces are being upgraded, Studio S is releasing a collection of military comedies from the good old days that show how fun it used to be to serve in the crown's uniform. A smorgasbord in the field (and tent!) with confused defenders of the fatherland, home guards, spies, intrigues, love affairs, singing, and dancing.
