This video was reportedly found in an attic recently.

Video? From WWII? I don't think so. Film yes, video no.

I don't remember videotaped programs appearing until either the late 1950s or early 1960s. There was a gritty format called 'kinescope' that was a filmed image of tv.

The BBC did do a lot of experimentation with broadcast tv prior to WW2.

Who gives a sh**, besides you I mean? The thing is this visual moving record of the bombing has probably been transferred to Video format, just as many of the old movies have been. To nit pick over a term is slightly stupid, IMO. Did you watch the visual record or not, was it true to form, was it an actual record of the after math of German bombing do you think? If so who cares what the poster calls it?

Which is why it is so rare.

All of the video cameras and VCRs were manufactured in Japan, so it was really hard to find any during WWII. ;-)
