German War Files - Support Aircraft and Gliders

[@Ralphieboy]

this is a great series...includes some of the best WW2 footage I have ever come across

[@Ash-ey9oy]

I was thinking the same

[@msgfrmdaactionman3000]

Hey Ralphieboy! What do you want Norton? Lol. My names Ralph.

[@lesterdiamond6190]

such a relief to see a video from this series with the sound mixed properly.

[@rbilleaud]

Are you kidding? There are times when the music so overpowered the narration I almost shut it down. It was only Mark Felton's well done presentation of the subject matter (as always) that kept me here.

[@overhang88]

Is there anything better than the opening music of this series. When I hear it I know I'm in for a good show.Thanks for the upload.

[@msgfrmdaactionman3000]

Great live version here from Berlin! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6raiXZmgNh4jbM

[@overhang88]

@@msgfrmdaactionman3000 That is a great rendition! Thank you!

[@fpscanada3862]

Its not from this series. Its the theme from "die deutche wochenshau" (hope i spelled that right) it was the german state news reel of the time. They put out news from the war with combat footage every week or so. The song might even be from something earlier but i doubt it. To me its die deutche wochenshau music. So triumphant

[@mikeupton5406]

This is like a William Green book come to life. Thank you for posting this series.

[@scottwins2]

One of the better ww2 films of german aircraft

[@mr.gunzaku437]

The music on these wonderful videos can sometimes overwhelm the narrator and one can easily lose what is being said. Overall 8/10 for the *Entire* series, kudos!

[@MrLarryC11]

Rare and interesting film!

[@chrismontreuil2206]

Its amazing all the German footage.

[@867boeing767]

excellent narration.

[@alexhubble]

A glider loaded with two tanks, landing on a skid? One I will watch from afar, thank you.

[@sedette123]

Fin dokumentar og bra kvalitet.

[@msgfrmdaactionman3000]

I'm still looking around for that Gigant crash with 3, 110s. I saw it once but cannot find it now. Its very similar to the air show crash footage used in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers.

[@PAVANZYL]

Music too loud at times. This is a documentary. Music not required.

[@172-e5s]

Super annoying 'music'. Kinda like a cat fight

[@frankkpowersjr8357]

The had to wait until well after WWII before Douglas Aircraft Company came up with the C-124 Globemaster which was a scaled up version of the C-74 the original DC-7.

[@msgfrmdaactionman3000]

Thanks for the great upload! A recent live version of the opening music from Berlin is here, search "Liszt: Les Préludes / Thielemann · Berliner Philharmoniker"

Wars are governed by the logistics of any side. Without the transports, battles are soon lost.

[@grahambird1570]

. . . And the reality of 'Biting off more than they could chew' !!!

[@AlexS-tg9on]

good documentary

[@mikebrase5161]

I still have this series on VHS damn im old

[@bicualexandru246]

Anyone have any idea what the name of the song playing at 43:40 (during the para training video) is ? And for all you funny bunnies out there it's not Darude Sandstorm , nor is it Sarude Dandstorm or any other variation. Thank you in advance.

@@grahambird1570 i found it quite triumphant sounding

[@ChrisSue-w4w]

Background music too loud in places 28:55

[@trueKENTUCKY]

Someone save this before youtube deletes it later this year

[@j.m.vandervelde6555]

the music is too loud sometimes in this great documentary.

[@calcosPR]

The guy landing at 45:00 looks like he snapped both his legs back

[@letoubib21]

44:07: Does anybody know ny chance what type of aircraft that was?

[@713devereux]

Do 17 "pencil"maybe? hard to tell but best guess

[@samiam5557]

HE111, the Do17 had twin tail rudder setup

[@samiam5557]

HE111

What does it mean when the german officer/sgt pumps his fist up and down? Advance? All clear?

[@model-man7802]

Music is too loud sometimes but fantastic Video.Especially if your a model builder like me,great reference.👍

[@kdawur]

Thanks a lot - a favorite !

[@NO--BS.]

Was there a narrator? I think I would enjoy it but cant hear him over the music.

[@frankkpowersjr8357]

I meant to say the USAF. I apologize for my mistake.

[@Ralphieboy]

25;00" in...shades of "Apocalypse Now"

[@michaelsanders4550]

The music accompanying this video is so loud that it almost overpowers the narrator. It is difficult to hear him when the music is playing. The sound engineer needs to be fired.

[@chrismontreuil2206]

I want a German glider.

[@ConvairDart106]

The music, drowning out the narration, so often, that I am leaving, at the 26 minute mark. Millions of other choices on KZbin. Nice film footage though.

[@grahambird1570]

What CRAP Music >>> Get it off and leave the facts for us to see !!!!

[@172-e5s]

Rookies and idiots hard at work making this 'video'. I give it a 2 out of 10

[@kennyraicherter1264]

This is the best doc. Beside Marc feltons doc

[@deibama]

The "music" is annoying.

[@scottcollins542]

music gets to loud at times... really annoying... had to stop watching some parts of it.

[@EjnerH1949]

Amateur production, terrible sound. It's documentary dude, not a concert.

[@dcolb121]

Is the music really necessary?

[@grahambird1570]

No !

[@gretalind6590]

Yes

[@daryljonesfoster4102]

Possibly ?

[@172-e5s]

Hell NOOOO !
