Re: Never seen before in public - 8mm WW2 footage of the 325th Fighter Group

Thanks for that, it's a very interesting film.

Despite the absence of documentation, at least some scenes can be located. There's a Luftwaffe graveyard at 36:30 with an Hs 129, a Ju 88 and numerous Ju 52 (El Aouina, Tunisia). I guess that most of the scenes with palm trees will be Tunisia as well. In addition there's footage of the eruption of Vesuvius (March 1944), the Vittorio Emanuele monument in Rome (June 1944 or later) and a parade in Paris as well as the Place de la Concorde (August 1944 or later).
