Know Your Enemy: Nazi Germany is a set of four Army training films made for British troops as a prelude to their intended invasion of mainland Europe. The four identification films, from the archives of the Imperial War Museum, each focus on a specific area of threat showing graphically what weapons and munitions the British troops were up against. The films featured are German Equipment (Parts 1 And 2), German Aircraft and German Paratroops. Preparedness was everything in the face of the onslaught of German armoured cars, tanks, anti-tank guns, close-support guns, mountain guns and railway guns - all of which are featured with tactical suggestions as to their weakest points. There is even a warning about German Cycle Squadrons! The Luftwaffe is closely examined and comparisons made between British aircraft and their German counterparts including the Me-109, Me-110, Ju-87B, Ju-88, Ju-52, He-111 and the Do-17Z. This examination concludes with a massed bombing raid over enemy territory, followed by the fighters and dive-bombers and then the parachutists and gliders; the message throughout being, "Think of the enemy above you!" Also included is a lesson in how to counter German paratroopers (Fallschirmjäger) and their equipment and a rather optimistic look at the British weapons that would be used in any counter-attack. For comparison, also included as bonus features are the American produced wartime documentaries made for their troops, 'Know Your Enemy - Japan' (1945) and 'Know Your Ally - Britain' (1943).
