Footage of Maj Helmut Lent on nightfighter operations on Internet

[Jochen Prien]

Dear Hans,

it is in fact a part from a Deutsche Wochenschau as can be heard from the well known commentator's voice; I will try and check which issue of the DWS it actually came from if you were interested. I trust you know that the surviving Wochenschauen are now at the Bundesarchiv which is very restrictive about making and giving away copies ( which in addition to that have become extremely expensive by the way - when I called for a short sequence showing a/c and personalities of IV./JG 3 concerning the aerial battles of July 7th, 1944 for my history of that unit, a short negative of no more that 20 to 30 seconds cost well over 500 EUR for th film alone, not including publication fees ).

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Jochen Prien
