Description

It is extremely rare to uncover Luftwaffe gun camera footage but I have found some and restored fifty-seven movies from 1944.
Man this DVD is awesome!!!!! Me and the wife really enjoyed it and she's from Germany. - Barry
For the first time ever these movies have been restored to their original chronological order and key sections of the combat movies have been enhanced to show you the up close action in slow motion. This DVD is a total of forty-four minutes long. It is amazing to watch the Focke-Wulf Fw 190s and Messerschmitt Bf 110 G-2s picking off B-17s and B-24s on the offensive in bombing formations. This movie contains combat films of the Luftwaffe against P-38, P-47, P-51, B-17, B-24 and Russian LaGG-5 and Yankovlev Yak 9 fighters and Ilyushin DB-3 bombers. It is very educational to watch the difference between the combat films of the Luftwaffe as compared to those of the AAF.
