Wehrmacht Training Film

[seabolt]

Great films. The first one was "what the hell, does everyone have to share pistols and rifles?". Those flour bombs they threw were interesting, blinding the driver and such. Pure fantasy, but interesting.

BTW - did you notice how perfect the trenches were?

I love the acid/smoke/flour bombs! I feel positive that some poor battalion commander really got issued those things, and told with a straight face that they would turn the tide ... the Germans were nutty professors, man.

Obviously, there were some "Berlinwood" production values. I have no idea how they cut such straight trenches in 1943. The part where the AT gun gets knocked out but all of the crew is just fine ... priceless! (Achtung! The viewer will not realize that if that's really his ass, it's grass. That is all!)

Just seeing those T-34s tromp through the forest like King frigging Kong is worth the viewing time, alone ...
