Help identifying possible Junkers Ju 88s in archive footage

[archivalresearcherCA]

Hello,

I am looking for help identifying several aircraft in a short Luftwaffe clip, dated to around 1939: https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage...wii-german-luftwaffe-film-german-ju-88-bomber
The archive provider has labelled the material as Junkers Ju 88 footage, but the frames appear to show more than one type of aircraft. I would like to confirm what is actually visible.

Below are stills taken from the clip, with time codes.

TC 00:00
This looks closer to a Dornier Do 17 [thinner fuselage, often compared with a pencil]
Salvaging a rare WWII plane from the sea

TC 00:28
This appears similar to a Messerschmitt Bf 110

TC 00:14
Harder to identify, but it does not seem to match Ju 88 features.

My questions are:

• Which of these frames, if any, show a genuine Junkers Ju 88
• Are any of the aircraft Dornier Do 17 or Messerschmitt Bf 110
• Does the cockpit interior at 00:27 match a Ju 88

For comparison, I have looked at Luftwaffe images from the Bundesarchiv, but confirmation from people familiar with silhouettes and interiors would be very helpful.

Many thanks in advance for any insight.

Ju88 and Do17Z and 17P (or similar early variant) are shown, along with Me110.
The interior clip is probably a He111, but could be an early Do17 variant.

This is definitely a Ju-88. The beetle-eye is visible and the vert stab is a squat triangle, unlike the He-111, the other twin-engine/single rudder LW bomber. This is deffo not an He.

I agree with Airframes.

Dornier Do-17Z ...

Bf 110 ... judging by the marking on the fin it is a pre-war kite.

Ju-88 ...

regarding the cockpit ... it is not of the ju-88.

Thank you all for taking the time to share your insight - very helpful and much appreciated. CA

Our pleasure.

BTW .. IMHO the cockpit seen in the footage could be of a Dornier (possible Do-18) or a Blohm & Voss flying boat.

the pic source: the net.

You can tell by the intakes that it's a pre-C variant too.

Correct. It looks like she could be one of the Bf 110 prototypes. But it's Berta (Bertha) IMHO.
