Ive watched this clip numerous times and I still like to watch it , the balistics test at the end is pure propaganda , dont forget these film were'nt only shown to troops but civilian audiences as well via cinema newsreels in order to keep up public moral, if i remember correctly there was another one made showing how Luftschutz helmets were manufactured but i only saw part of it on and old 16mm film , i dont know if Youtube ever picked it up
