17pounder Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi all, I'm a keen CM freak and have been playing the series since CMBO, but this is the first time I've been on this forum. Currently my fav is red Thunder, but I just love the entire series; best computer war-game ever. Maybe I like the Eastern Front best because I have no interest in who wins particularly and hence can really enjoy seeing both sides taking a beating!!Wonder if any of you had seen this nice bit of German newsreel footage on youtube: Be patient through the dull bits because it really heats up later (about 3.33m). Best of all the footage has been digitally enhanced and it REALLY makes a differance, which makes it special in my book. After some tank ditch digging and a show of Kriegsmarine might you'll see fw-190 jabo's hassling the Russians and later some excellent action footage of Stug's supported by infantry battling Red armour at quite close range. Later the film has the Americans on the receiving end too, guess the German public are being told that Germany is winning on both fronts! It's great footage though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spawncaptain Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Is that Tchaikovsky's 1812 in the background? Not exactly good for propaganda when you're fighting the Russians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Boah, that's heavy propaganda stuff. Unbearable. Did you note, that it repeats after 14min? Probably they counted eaczh destroyed tank twice. ;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
