Fallschirmjager video - Battle of Corinth Canal

[AWC]

Operation Hannibal was a German airborne attack to secure the Isthmus of Corinth and trap the retreating British and Commonwealth forces. This battle acted as a prelude to the Fallschirmjager's largest operation, Crete. (It occurred on 26th April not the 25th as stated in the video, I got confused from some accounts of the event!)

Hi Lemsip.

Well done, very well put together, seeing the story unfold with text was a great idea. Seeing a large formation of Ju52s was excellent!

Were the DFS 230s filmed elsewhere and then edited in?

Hello, thankyou! Yes the gliders were filmed in IL-2 1946 and just added to the video. I tried to avoid this but its the best I can do without excluding the gliders.
