    I saw some footage from it today, and they had the pilot's daughter on also. The pilot who filmed the footage was killed in WWII, and his daughter had never seen him. She was moved, and the footage makes Germany after WWII look like a nice park. Utter devastation everywhere. I have never seen or imagined that many shell holes, and the before and after clips were stunning. I look forward to seeing the entire footage, which spans the entire front. The pilot was an aerial camera man during the war (WWI). They showed the aerial cameras, which were huge.

    Amazing. I hope there is more footage than what showed from the link. I'll also tip my hat to the Frenchman who answered the call twice.
