This documentary is about a world war 2 German regiment, Der Windhund. I am portraying in this documentary the Falaise breakout. The allies had control of the sky and so shot up anything that moved in “Kessel”. Der Windhund was dispersed and vastly depleted in numbers; they probed for ways through the American lines but were finally pushed back and given orders to retreat. I show finally archive footage of the actual events leading up to the surrender of the entire German forces. The documentary starts off with a focus on one particular soldier and then pans out to the entire group. This documentary will be I feel a unique edition of work displayed and add a wider spectrum on types of work students are currently producing.
