Thanks Freyir, that was good to watch. There are other videos that you could access that are interesting also.
EDIT: There is a “Part II” to the one you posted and some additional ones that you can access off to the side.

Evacuation of wounded german soldiers , 1942.

YouTube - Junkers Ju-52/3m, evacuacion de heridos.

#16

the “lucky” ones among the soldiers in stalingrad , the others weren’t so “lucky” ending in the snow . As for the film it make me feel horrible like i am in hell or something .

#17

You sure is Stalingrad ?, I think is more like the summer 1942, an earlier date.

#18

well not absolutely sure of course it can be Kharkov as well too but i doubt it something tells me that the terrain looks exactly like the airfield near the Stalingrad i don’t know why maybe i am wrong who knows .

#19

Well, the video I ve uploaded is just a part of an 8 minute footage, the first part showed some landscape, I will upload it and we will see if somebody can identify wich part of Russia /Soviet union is.

The climate in the clip looks a little too temperate for both Stalingrad and Kharkov (February/March 1943).
