Frenchy Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Just wanted to let anyone know who may be interested that I have obtained 26 mins. of combat footage from the National Archives. The following units have been identified: 14th Armored Division 70th Infantry Division 45th Infantry Division 63rd Infantry Division 1 armored division is unidentified. Most of the film covers the battle of Forbach and Wingen-sur-Moder. Various aspects of combat is covered, ie; rifle grenades, tank/infantry co-ordination, etc. I should have the first clips posted on our Trailblazer Site in about 10 days. Others will follow after that depending on my work load at the office. Just thought you guys (and gals) wanted to know. I'll post again when clips are posted.

Frenchy Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 Will do. I thought I had the 1st one ready but it would not work from home. I think I used the wrong codec. Anyway, hope to have one up tomorrow evening. It's a 54 sec clip of a pillbox near Forbach being blown up, ie, wired for demolition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchy Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 Guys and gals...4 clips are posted. I apologize in advance for the size. I have limited webspace so I had to compromise on quality and size. Files are in AVI format and play fine in Windows Media Player. Play well also in Windows Media Player for Mac. http://www.trailblazersww2.org/film_footage.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 You can find Windows Media Player for Mac somewhere on the Microsoft site. Anyone feel like posting them in Quicktime or some other non-monopolizing standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
