WWII Footage Treasure Trove
« on: April 15, 2013, 01:00:32 PM »
Stumbled upon this today in preparation for a college class. A quick search of the archive revealed many more.

This second one is three hours of unedited guncam footage from the ETO.

Search youtube for "GSAP".

Stands for gun sight aiming point, there's at least two 3-hour plus videos, also a playlist of 42 videos, think the latter is on the second page of hits.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations.
