Real footage of near disaster during Axis Scramble at rain soaked runway

[Pierre@]

According to "Focke-Wulf Fw 190D Camouflage & Markings - Part I" by Marc Deboeck, Eric Larger & Tomas Poruba:

"In this extract from a "Deutsche Wochenschau" newsreel, made in East Prussia in early February 1945, "Yellow 2" of II./JG 6 (is) taking off from a flooded airstrip. The aircraft is armed with an SC 250 bomb on the ETC 504 rack. (...) The W.Nr. can be partially decrypted, 211xx7, and identifies the aircraft as a Focke-Wulf built Dora 9."
