V2 Film.

[JOHN JONES]

Never seen this before. Damaged items rebuilt or remade to show the full process,
the Germans would not have filmed. (Security)
German Crews used, in various uniforms, less Swastikas.
I like the shape if the ignitor, not picked up on by the narrator.
Enjoy.

Ignitor

Could be the low spec ignitor (40.37)
was a jolly jape by the film crew, with some plumbing fittings.

Wait is this a post war film with original footage or is everything post war, sort of like a reenactment? At 30:45, the German is wearing British denim BD's, was this an actor or did Germans use BD's for V2 crews?

[Nightwish]

It is a film about "Operation Backfire".

It was an Operation of the western allies to capture as much technical and operative knowlege about the A4 (V2). It mounted in three A4-launches to test and demonstrate these knowledge in new technologie in Oktober 1945 near Cuxhaven in Germany.
