Once again I just have to says thanks a lot to all who have contributed to this thread and story. I was able to borrow a DVD (newsreel #730) from the German Bundesarchiv and it was a much higher resolution, revealing much more detail, it allowed me to confirm another detail about that day. The DVD revealed a soldier lying down in the background behind my father. The soldier is injured and has a covering over his right leg. These are details that get missed by watching you tube versions of these war films. They get copied and recopied so many times that they lose some of the important details.
The injured Sgt Garrah became a good friend of my Dad and I have a hand written letter detailing the events of that day. I have been aware of the letter for about ten years now, but now I have a film clip that documents it !! Wow, truly blessed to have this much info. I have registered on the Axis history forum to investigate more of what happened from the German side that day.
