    German Fighter Airplanes

    Overview

    Description
    German "Kampf und Jagd Flugzeuge" [combat and fighter airplanes] on a snow-covered airfield. German troops repair planes and shovel snow from the airfield, even as snow continues to fall. A German in a flight suit tries to warm himself by waving his arms and blowing on his hands. Men load bombs onto the planes. A large bomb is pulled on a sled across the field and then loaded onto a plane. The engines are warmed before takeoff, using a large tube shaped vent. Shots of different types of planes taking off and in the air. The pilot and copilot in the cockpit. Down below are dark tracks in the snow, made by tanks in battle. Bombs dropping on "Bolshevist" positions. Soviet planes appear and engage the Germans. Reel ends.

    Film Provenance
    George R. Wheeler obtained this collection of wartime films from his late wife's first husband, Mr. Givens, who received the films from an acquaintance and watchmaker, Mr. Greenberg. Greenberg smuggled them out of Germany in the late 1930s or early 1940s. Mr. Wheeler, himself a member of the 94th Engineers Regiment during World War II, donated the 16mm films to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in October 2003.
    Note
    Videotape transfers are not split into two parts (A and B) like the film is. See USHMM Film ID 2693 for one video of contents.

    Original film canisters located in Museum offsite storage. Unclear which newsreel numbers correspond to the Story. Further research at the LOC may be required.
