MOSwas71331 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The visuals are fine, but the English narrator is talking over German soundtracks of the 88s firing. I can understand the narration during the quiet segments, but I can only make out perhaps one word in three when the 88s are active. The video would have been a lot better if the German soundtrack had been turned down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgusEye Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm not so sure that is the original sound; even in the original newsreels, the sound is mostly dubbed in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrailApe Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 In the desert sequences, it's interesting to see all of the dust etc being kicked up. The layer of the gun either had Thermal imaging eyeballs or he was crossing his fingers and hoping for the best. I can imagine difficulties picking out tragets if it was a very still day and the dust had to settle instead of being blown away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerMiller Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks for this post! I didn't realize they fired the gun while still limbered on the wheeled carriage... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
