Needa
I may be mistaken here, but I have a feeling that the American journalist Gwen Dew writes in her book that she passed her movie film which she made during the battle to Needa. Possibly for safe-keeping?
Suffice it to say that those reels were never found after the war, and Gwen Dew went to her grave hoping that one day they would be recovered or located.
