Sound recording devices were not this good back then... and if u can hear the machine gunners weapon firing, the engine sounds would be very loud...
Its a great little listen... | I think you could just be wrong. http://www.stelzriede.com/ms/html/sub/mshwlnak.htm

Country:  | it's bogus guys. I heard this segment some years back. the RAF crew act just a little way to calm to be hit from the rear and underneath by Schragwaffen. If attacked the crewmen would not be in so stae of calm.
the insides of the Bomber would be a horror story as it always is whether on a day time or night time mission | |

| Its not at all bad! item 10 "the Raid over Essen" is similar to the one in this thread, but theres no nightfighter, & most of the crew are from the midlands -Yorkshire/Lancashire etc they also have a relaxed approach. Whether its for the benefit of the sound engineer on board or not is hard to say..
But i take my hat off to them all for their courage & Bravery.

Country:  | I believe you are incorrect Les & Erich this is indeed a genuine recording. The BBC have become very adept at cleaning up old sound archives and I believe this has been remastered and enhanced the fact the the crew are not screaming and shouting and only get excited at the success of the gunner does not surprise me it is a reflection of the discipline amongst the crewmen
You can learn more from this site about wartime sound reporting. http://www.roger.beckwith.btinternet...r/wr_intro.htm

| Probably it was remastered becouse it sounds to clear but i think its real. Why should they record a track that was just made up?

1. RAF Museum Hendon
2. Imperial War Museum Lambeth
3. Imperial War Museum Duxford.
If you check their websites, you'll probably find it in one of their shops.

| They sound like robots with posh accents
If its real, then they probably avoided swearing while being recorded because of the way some were raised to be polite in that era. They probably didn't want to be heard swearing on a record that could be heard by many. | |
