I don't know of one, but I do know I came across one once. So, keep
looking.

Do you get off on pain? Like to feel it coursing
through your body? Are you a masochist? Do you
like to play with a sore? It's only a matter of
degrees. I guess degrees matter.

most are still copyrighted and not available free legitimately. try
one of the illegal file sharing services like limewire or kazaa.
as to good ones that a little more difficult, they all seem to thinks
"films is films" and after watching one too many battle of the bulge
ones showing germans advancing in shortsleaves behind 38t's across
steppes or hellcats and avengers at midway and coral sea , i tend to
doubt that any good ones actually exist.

The History Channel? Discovery Military? I "stream" both of these fine
services into the enormous display that dominates the whole of my den.

Ain't it the truth. Whenever I see a film that depicts something
ridiculously different from what the narrator is relating, I get this
mental picture of a Danny Devito type producer screeching, "No, NO, this
is a *WW2* documentary! GET ME SOME FILM OF AN AIRPLANE WITH A
PROPELLER!!"

[And then there's the "perennials." If I see that clip of the F6F on
landing cracking into the rear of the carrier island and splitting in
half one more time, I'm gonna barf.]

It's even worse when the same clip is used over and over again in the
same series, or even the same /episode/!

I recognise the clip you've mentioned, another one that keeps showing
up is the black and white one of the battleship (?) rolling over, which
got used several times in an otherwise excellent documentary series on
the Battle of the Atlantic (IIRC) that was shown in the UK a year or so
ago.

It's almost as if there's a 'Classic WW2 clips' tape that's always on
the Returns trolley in the BBC (or whatever) archive, and producers
just grab that rather than bother to look around and actually find other
material.

I stumbled across this Czech (?) page last night. Has about thirty very
short MPEGS and AVIs showing German armored vehicles in action. I don't know
if there are other videos elsewhere on the site.

The site is a bit slow.
