Original - During World War II, and especially in 1943, Hamburg, Germany was severely damaged by aerial bombardment, with some 55,000 people killed. Clip from the Motion Picture Division of the U.S. National Archives.
Reason
Another wartime propaganda film, with combat footage and some scans of the damaged city and damaged aircraft.
Support It's amazing to me that these videos were released sincerely during the war. They seem so ironic now.

Support Such pictures are per se featured due to the colossal encyclopedic value. —

Support. Now that's some encyclopedic stuff. bibliomaniac15 00:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)reply
Oppose I just do not think all encyclopedic war videos and images are worth being featured. Sorry.

# 3 says "...among the best examples of a given subject that the encyclopedia has to offer..." now how can all war videos be the best wiki has to offer?

How does your objection relate specifically to the nominated film?

Oppose As a piece of propaganda it's not very interesting. As archival footage, it's overly dramatic, and not very informative. The quality also isn't very impressive. I'm sure better could be found. —
