WWII amazing story of Louis Curdes, partially illustrated with IL2, that has a surprising twist at the end.

Accidentally stumbled on this.......  The last minute or so has a extra unusual twist to what is already an unusual story.

Good use of IL2 video, IMO, to add to the atmosphere of the video.

Hopefully has not been posted on here before ?
