Description Our DVD Specs   Airborne Assault! American and German Airborne Operations  c 2008 Zeno's Warbird Videos. All rights reserved. "These two films are as interesting in the contrast they provide between the way the US and German armies went to war -- and portrayed it -- as they are precious repositories of historic film footage." Zeno * Normandy: the Airborne Invasion of Fortress Europe (52:00 --1944, B&W) This film was produced during the war to show the strategic and tactical planning that went into the airborne component of the D-Day invasion as well as document the actual proceedings. Of special interest is the detailed depiction of the development of glider transport and doctrine. Great footage of 82nd & 101st Division paratroopers. If you think you've seen all the surviving footage about Normandy operations, this film will be an eye opener  *Sky Blitz (1942--B&W, 22:00) In German with English commentary.  This documentary on the airborne invasion of Holland in May 1941 was captured from the Germans and turned into a training tool by the US Army Air Corp.  That's because it's a text book case of the effective use of airborne troops.  This dramatic, action filled film focuses on the capture and securing of a strategic lynch pin in the defense of Holland, the massive Moerdijk bridge.  You'll see crack "Fallschrimjeager" troops seize the bridge in tact before it can be blown by the Dutch. Useful maps portray tactical operations.
