Very good. Materially speaking the german attack destroyed several more aircraft that own losses, however as the newreel pointed out the losses of pilots were heavy and non-replace possible.

By the way, at list two of the guncameras shoved in the reel did not belong to Bodenplatte, note there are no snow in the landscape.
 
Noted. A couple of the clips are from elsewhere but nontheless the best footage I could find.

Unternehemen Bodenplatte was a disaster from start to finish for the Luftwaffe. The best resource to find out this fascinating story is John Manrho and Ron Putz "Bodenplatte: The Luftwaffe's Last Hope." An excellent work.
