Feuertaufe - Baptism of Fire (1940): VIDEOS

Poland was the first victim of Hitler's infamous blitzkrieg. Combat cameramen filmed the aerial campaign, showing preparations for flight, massive air strikes, and the appalling devastation wreaked upon Polish towns and armies. The Luftwaffe feature film Baptism of Fire (Feuertaufe), introduced by Hermann Göring himself, boasted about the feat after the short-lived campaign was over.
