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

[Bewolf]

D9s for sure. The video is 16:10, while the original was most likely 4:3. The picture got simply stretched making it appear wings and fuselages being longer then they really were.

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."
