Agreed, holding the rifle a little wierd too.

But it's a funny clip.

I can believe it.... That close quarters combat can get ridiculous at times.... I would assume from the way both guys are moving around that there were some serious amounts of lead flying around them...

But otherwise I can't imagine a film crew into the middle of an urban combat.

Very good point. Somebody who works with film for a living would notice stuff we wouldn't. Watched "Saving Private Ryan" with my roomate from college (works in Hollywood as an assistant producer for 20 years) and ended up seeing a totally different movie. Pretty cool.

What about the German uniform?

The colors of the uniform (yes I know you cant make out the colors) but it does not look right and the cut of the uniform does not look right. I have many authentic Third Reich uniforms and this one just seems a bit funny.

Maybe he just woke up and grabbed some poor cooks uniform pants and his hat and rifle to defend his street corner????

We will never know guys, and thats the thing about combat.... Unless ur there breathing in the cordite and feeling the concussions in ur chest, all u can do here is fantatize...

What if this??? What if that???? I looks real and the individuals actions looks as real as they would be under the situation: Pure alarm and fear....

Another thing to cloesly look at is what the paratoorper is throwing out... It aint no rock, and by the looks of it, has a fuse attached.... Why would he throw a rock when his weapon is in his hand???

Like I said, we werent there...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Oh I agree, I am not saying it is fake or not. The uniform just does not look right.

It was a loaf of french bread....

It was a loaf of french bread....

If you look at it is and it disappears from the shot before the end of the sequence. This makes me think that it is real combat footage and British guy has thrown a grenade (or some kind of explosive) at the German which has seen been edited over with the piece of bread.

 

[lesofprimus]

I agree Gnomey....
