Dear all,
A 3 min film reel with Major Helmut Lent on nighfighter operations can be seen at:

Also Josef Kammhuber can be seen and also some nightfighter pilots who I hope to identify the next couple of weeks. I presume the film was shot at the command centre De Breil at Zeist and Leeuwarden airfield, The Netherlands.
I've tried to contact the poster of this low resolution film reel for the original source, however with no avail.
As this footage may be part of the Wochenschau films, I've checked that website too, but only the footage of Lent's funeral turned up from the archived ones.
Perhaps somebody has seen the footage before and/or can point me the way to the original source for obtaining a high res copy?
Thanks in advance,
Hans Nauta
P.S. Before somebody else posts the remark: yes, the attacked aircraft is a Douglas Boston, just a piece of footage which was available at that time I think...
