[Boomerang]

Gentlemen:

Definitely agree that weapon sounds on Deutsche Wochenschau were likely to have added after the film was shot. I've seen an interview with an Me 410 crew returning from a sortie, which used an enormous bulky microphone to record the sound - definitely not suited to combat conditions.

That said, the weapon sounds used in the Deutsche Wochenschau may well be authentic, perhaps recorded under controlled conditions, well away from the front. I thought that it may be possible to link cetain sounds with certain weapons and thus provide a response to the initial post.

Regards

Don W
