A friend of mine who lives in Ukraine is the owner of the rare Luftwaffe item - rear hemisphere sight Revie 5. These sights were installed on fighter planes Hs-129.
The sight was taken in Germany at the end of the war as a trothy by his grandpa. According to the sight condition its new and it was never used. The sight box is being stored in his parents barn in the countryhouse since 1945-1946.
Henschel Hs-129 B-2 W.Nr. 0224 «DE + ZR» was equipped with the sight Revie 5. The picture was taken in Rechlin in 1943. This sight was offered for installation on aircraft modification "C", which was planned to equipy two 7.92-mm machine guns MG - 17 firing into the rear hemispher. Isotta-Fraschini "Delta» RC-15/48 engines were installed at this Henschel , but the problem with the engines have led to the aircraft flight test termination in the summer of 1944.

RLM Footage: 10-67 Sauerstoffmakse, 10-62 Höhenatmer in He 111
Some years ago I bought an original RLM film reel. The content was a Luftwaffe education film called 'Der Höhenflug'. The footage shows the use of oxygen masks and portable oxygen supply by a Luftwaffe bomber crew inside a Heinkel He 111 H-5.
It starts with the crew in front of their He 111. The crew then gets on board of the bomber, takes off and climbs to a high altitude where they put on their Auer 10-67 oxygen masks. The observer uses the Auer 10-62 portable oxygen supply to climb into the rear fuselage and later to the cockpit again. Then one of the crew members passed out and another one is helping him. They initiate a steep dive to lower altitudes and subsequently land safely again.
I later got the film scanned professionally (which was not a bargain). The footage is ca. 17 minutes. As far as I know it has never been published before. You can see several still pictures for free at my website and the whole 17 minutes mp4 file can be downloaded for a small amount to cover my expenses for scanning.
