FERNBOMBER UBER DEM ATLANTIK : ein Erlebnisbericht vom Einsatz des Condorgeschwaders [Main]

ShortSummary
Documentary account of an anti-shipping patrol by a Focke Wulf 200C-1 Condor bomber of I/KG40 based at Bordeaux-Merignac .

FullSummary
(Reel 1) Huge hangar doors are opened and a Fw 200C-1 with the KG40 ring-round-the-world nose insignia is pushed onto the airfield apron prior to being prepared for a mission against British shipping in the Atlantic. Geschwaderkommodore Petersen, wearing Knight's Cross, briefs the captain of the plane as they stand with two other officers beside a map of the French Atlantic coast. Preparations commence with fuelling up, loading 551 lb bombs and handing 7.9mm MG15 guns and magazines into the fuselage. After nightfall four members of the five-man crew, wearing astrakhan caps, enter the plane after shaking hands with Luftwaffe personnel on the ground. Day-for-night air-to-air shots show the Condor flying over the ocean, and interior shots show ventral and dorsal gun position, the navigator at work and the pilot and co-pilot in the cockpit. Co-pilot hands binoculars to pilot on spotting a possible target on the ocean below.
(Reel 2) Target is identified as enemy shipping and crew prepare for attack, before Condor, with bomb doors opened, commences strafing run over small cargo vessel. Bomb falls near (another) cargo vessel and Condor peels away for another two runs, strafing the length of a cargo vessel and bombing ships in a convoy, including one with a name almost visible. Ship explodes. Condor (F8+LH) leaves the convoy for long flight back to base, as happy crew have coffee from thermos flask and eat sausages. Navigator plots the course and wireless operator contacts base where message is received.Condor crosses the coastline and touches down. Crew members (six) step down from plane and captain describes with his hands their successful engagement. New tally is painted onto side of plane, which already indicates about ten victories at Narvik and eighteen against England.

ContextDescription
Remarks: attack on shipping uses stock shots.

FullSummary
RAF aircrew walk to their Mitchell (call-sign X with a painting of a Union Jack-draped dog on the nose) and do up their parachute harnesses. A Warrant Officer Navigator checks the time, calls his crew and climbs aboard. In a close up of the cockpit area, the pilot settles into his seat and dons his helmet. In close up he holds up his thumb. This is seen again in mid shot as the ground crew rotate the propeller to suck petrol into the cylinders. The trolleyacc is wheeled in, connected and the engine started. A sergeant offers a Form 700 to a Warrant Officer pilot who signs it with a fountain pen. In the air are seen good views of clouds and a good profile shot of a very tatty Mitchell (serial number FW240). There follows good shots of aircraft of 98 and 180 Squadrons in flight, one skimming over the tops of the clouds. The reel ends with various views from the cockpit showing the pilot in a flak helmet, a take off and landing.

FullSummary
Lancasters come in to land. A Squadron Leader briefs his crew by the tail of a Lancaster. Lancaster LL971 PO*N is shown from the rear, engines running. Their follows a close up of the nose of PO*S showing its mission symbols and famous legend 'NO ENEMY PLANE WILL FLY OVER THE REICH TERRITORY - Herman Goering'. A crew bus arrives, the camera pans to the cockpit as groundcrew test equipment. An aircraft is seen in close-up and mid shot being refuelled. A close up of the nose art follows showing a voting ballot card and the words 'VOTE FOR JOE'. The ballot card has the names 'CURTIN', 'SMUTS', 'STALIN', 'CHURCHILL' and 'GHANDI' listed thereon and a cross against Stalin's name. PO*S is refuelled and re-oiled. The aircraft is started up (note bombs in the foreground), the bomb doors are closed and the front turret operated. A tractor and bomb train is seen, followed by a shot of bombs being taken into the bay of a 463 Squadron aircraft. After another view of PO*S being refuelled a rigger is seen polishing the nose as other aircraft fly overhead. Bombs are seen in the bomb bay inscribed in chalk 'Adolf'-'with no'-'love'. The load is checked for security. A tractor tows out JO*X (serial number NE 133 'Vote for Joe'), the crew enter at dusk and the engines are started. After seeing a number of take-offs the reel ends with a view of the moon.

FullSummary
I. German restoration of Poznan theatre. After utter neglect in recent years by Poles, old German town theatre of Posen (Poznan) is being restored. Workmen decorate the interior while costume makers and set designers work behind the scenes on an unspecified new production.
II. Ballet at Berlin's Metropol Theatre. Dancers in Spanish-style costumes perform the tambourine ballet from the show "Frauen im Metropol".
III. Franz Lehar conducts "The Land of Smiles" in Paris. Composer conducts the 1,038th performance of his operetta at the Théatre de la Gaieté Lyrique, where the audience includes many men in German uniform. After an orchestral excerpt, Lehar appears on stage with the five principal singers whom he congratulates.
IV. Deep snow in Central Europe. Brandenburg Gate stands outlined in snow-covered Berlin. In Thuringia children ski over the tops of village houses embedded in snow. Snowed-in train is dug free. In Prague view from Charles Bridge shows Hradcany Castle on far side of the Elbe; snow plough clears St Wenceslas Square. Deep snow covers roads in Bohemian countryside. In Rumania (Romania) lorries stand stuck in the snow on the roads to Ploesti and Giurgiu, as small group of Rumanian soldiers and one German soldier look on.
V. Danish wedding on ice. Danish swimmers celebrate a wedding on iced-over water, into which they and their guests inevitably fall.
VI. International dog show in Switzerland. Close-ups of canine competitors show alsatians, bulldogs, terriers, wolfhounds, greyhounds, whippets, chows, Pekingese, poodles and other breeds on display.
VII. Norwegian fishing off Lofoten Islands. Large fleet of small fishing boats fish in area said to be important for caviar. Fishermen bait hooks on line and pull in large numbers of fish, which are then gutted.
VIII. Signature of German-Russian economic and political accords. Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov and German Ambassador to Moscow Count von Schulenburg sign agreements broadening the economic exchange between Russia and Germany, arranging for the emigration of Germans from the Soviet Union republics of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and finally fixing the German-Russian frontier "in the northern sector" (formerly Poland). (End of Reel 1)
IX. Searchlight production. Giant searchlights (150cm Flak-Schweinwerfer 1937) in production are tested in factory before completion. Searchlights are deployed by Luftwaffe flak unit on seafront of town (possibly Channel coast) and shine through the night.
X. Paratroop training. View of German paratroops training focuses on former heavyweight champion Max Schmeling, seen in ground practice prior to making drop with other paratroops from Junkers Ju 52. Flieger Schmeling releases parachute harness after reaching ground.
XI. Jagdgeschwader 26 engages Spitfires over Channel coast. Pilots of Jagdgeschwader 26 scramble to their Messerschmitt Bf 109Es after flare is fired from Very pistol. JG 26 commander Oberstleutnant Galland, with a cigar in his mouth, climbs into his cockpit. Tailplane of his Bf 109E bears 56 victory marks, then same plane is filmed in flight revealing Mickey Mouse insignia beneath cockpit. Camera-gun film records a stern attack on a Spitfire and another Spitfire descending off the coast trailing black smoke.
