Shot down over Warsaw first hand account, 1944

[Alex .]

A fantastic first hand account of a B-24 raid over Warsaw in 1944, there are various other videos across the page (Some linked below) which'll no doubt be gold in years to come as the veterans get fewer and fewer.

The use of IL2, real actors and the narration is spot on too! Killed a few hours.

He's a fantastic narrator, and what a story! Can't believe they set out for Warsaw from so far away. Something I never knew

Nor, I. 1760miles! That was certainly at the extremes of range.

And the poor bloke who thought he was hopping on a flight to the south of France...!
