Default Wanted Movies

I need about 24 films to complete my British World War 2 collection. They are:

DON'T PANIC, CHAPS (1959)
DURING ONE NIGHT (1962)
MAN FROM MOROCCO (1946)
PRIVATE ANGELO (1949)
SALUTE JOHN CITIZEN (1942)
SILENT VILLAGE (1943)
A TERRIBLE BEAUTY (1960)
THIS ENGLAND AKA OUR HERITAGE (1941)
THIS WAS PARIS (1942)
UNCENSORED (1942)
THE VALIANT (1962)
THE SEVENTH SURVIVOR (1941)
SQUADRON LEADER X (1943)
THE VOLUNTEER (1943)
ESCAPE TO DANGER (1943)
THE LISBON STORY (1945)
AN ENGLISHMAN'S HOME AKA MAD MEN OF EUROPE (1939)
SCHWEIK'S NEW ADVENTURE AKA IT STARTED ONE MIDNIGHT (1943)
OPERATION SNATCH AKA TOP SECRET (1962)
BUT NOT IN VAIN (1948)
WORM'S EYE VIEW (1951)
NO TIME TO DIE (1958)
ORDERS TO KILL (1958)
NIGHT INVADER (1943)

If anyone could help with these fims I would be extremely grateful, sale, exchange or whatevever. Even to confirm which films have completely disappeared (as I believe Squadron Leader X has) would be a great help because I could then avoid a lot of time hunting down films that I'm just not going to get!

I thought you'd write something about Squadron Leader X, Steve. That's why I didn't post anything earlier.

If it was available, I'd write about it

It is one I'd really like to see.

I found the complete story in a 1943 copy of Picture Show, and it does look like it'd be a good film.

With an original story by Emeric Pressburger and the script by Miles Malleson & Wolfgang Wilhelm, directed by Lance Comfort and starring Eric Portman and Ann Dvorak, how could it not be an interesting film

Thanks for all your replies, I'll be sifting through them and getting back to those of you who have some of my wants shortly. Someone did message me and say that they've got 8 of the films I'm after but I'm blowed if I can find the message, if they read this could they please reply again.
Many thanks to all.

You seem to know a lot about some of the films I'm looking for which seem to be lost, probably forever. If you have the time would you mind letting me know what films these are so that I can avoid time hunting for them and concentrate on the films I may be able to find.
Many thanks.

Is that addressed to me? As all the messages in a thread are just shown in the order in which they were posted it's not always obvious who someone's replying to. If you use the button then that'll make it clearer.

The only ones in your list that I really know about are The Volunteer which is available on the Criterion DVD of 49th Parallel, and Squadron Leader X which is "Missing, believed lost". No copies are known to exist and it hasn't been reported as having been seen anywhere since shortly after its first release in 1943
