Henschel Hs 129 Eastern Front gun camera footage published on September 6th 1944

Sequence from a German propaganda reel purporting to show the Henschel Hs 129 ground attack aircraft engaging Soviet targets in mid 1944. The nature of the tracers suggests the gunfire is from the 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon armament as opposed to the signature underbelly 30/37/75mm cannon carried by different variants. As no armored vehicle targets are immediately apparent it would not have made sense to waste the heavier ammunition on “soft“ targets.
