This is some great real FJ footage from the German invasion of the Netherlands, 1940. Don't know if it's a repost or not but it shows a lot of ground combat involving the Fallschirmjäger. The camera man is really in the thick of it. You can even see an opposing soldiers head pop up at one point to fire his rifle at the FJ. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hURjXxbyQ9k&NR=1

Nah, I think its pretty clear from his lack of capitalization and punctuation (no period) that he lacks a command of the English language. I'm sure what he actually meant to say was "virile, aero-gent Americans." After all, he is talking about paratroopers.

Nope, i meant the "America saved your asses" types and the "no, Britain would have won without you" types that are always arguing on youtube videos. About the punctuation and capitalization, i'm not trying to write a thesis here, it's just a forum. But if it's THAT pedantic here i guess i will shape up then =p.
