  • EPIC !!

  • @madcitymcflyer The red army also forced down and destroyed German planes in a plenty, and also grasped many German planes of different types in working order .Об it(this) film I is removed(taken off) can to prompt where it is possible to see it.

  • NAZI GERMANS ARE COWARDS

    @EyeforanEye88 Nazi Germany was a state of "Debauched Pestilence" who murdered 26 Million Russians, 26 Million Europeans + 6 Million Jews. By 1943 average German soldier & civilain knew they had lost the war + defeat was a matter of time. Hitler turned Germany into a nation of murdering psychotic serial killers. USAAF defeated + crushed German Luftwaffe + with helper nations of Britain & Russia proved all German Soldiers were yellow shit cowards that ran like Diarrhea .

  • (take 4:19min) -The B-17G A239822 that appears,it was piloted by LT. Donald D. Sharps (94th BG, 333rd BS), shot down about ten minutes after bombs away over Brunswick, Germany- Jan 11, 1944 and crashed Fladderlohhausen, Germany. I don't know the nose art but de number was 42-38922 - MACR 1887 by Lockheed Vega. Two KIA in attack by FW 190's.

  • Germany really had great fighting men that never let her down.

    They really fought hard and to the last

  • this is great because this is what the german people saw in there theaters just as we saw movietone news in ours, its the other side of the coin

  • Outstanding film, particularly the gun camera footage and the recovery of the wrecked bombers, which were quickly salvaged for strategic materials after air intelligence recovered bombsights, weapons, charts, etc. The German homeland defense was augmented by select veteran fighter groups brought in from the Eastern Front in early 1944. But by mid-1944, with the introduction of USAAF long-range escort fighters, even those Luftwaffe groups were severely depleted & offered little defense thereafter

  • Hollywood shows dozens of German planes against the Allies in every movie and in fact, the numerical advantage has always been for the Allied side.

  • We never looked at war from German point of view. This is first time I am watching something from German POV and it's beyond hollywood shit! This is real madman!
