I just read thats this kind of "disturbing" wind is usually register in Europe. Eiger mountain for example. Thanks for the posting.

is that the hydraulic jump on the left?

That's right killroy - Foehn winds are snow-eater winds. In north America, they're called chinook winds...decending air that dries and warms, and can attack a deep snowpack with amazing speed.

Do you mean the flies on the window, or the birds flying by? Very strange animals indeed.

Weird i see strange objects which move around at 0.27 on wards to 1.34 at the extream left.

These are Lee clouds. The Foehn you will not see as clouds but as "No CLOUDS". Its the drying of the falling air on the lee side of the mounain chain. Foehn will certainly not bring rain!!
