Pretty Wicked Luftwaffe Guncam Footage

Real gun camera film always makes me a bit sad thinking that folks are dying in those films.

Agreed, unlike AH, they are not going to reemerge in the tower.

Man if you saddled up on a buff like that in AH you would be pooped pretty quick, wonder why not in RL?

Note that in most if not all of the tail end chases with the 17s that they were stragglers away from the formation.  Also note that the ball turret guns were pointed straight down, which is an indication the gunner has been told to get out in preparation for bailing out.  It's a suggestion that some of the crew may have bailed and the bombers were essentially being finished off.  Of course it could also mean the tail gunner has been killed at that point.

Either way, nasty stuff.

Good point about the ball-turret gunner. I noticed the cocked angle of the guns, too.  That explains it nicely.
