Amerikanische/Englische Wochenschau finden????

Mahlzeit!

Vielleicht kann mir jemand mit nem Link o.ä. helfen!

Ich suche die englische und amerikanische Wochenschau, die über den Raketenbahnhof Bromskirchen berichtet.
Hier wurden am 29.03.1945 mehrere funktionstüchtige V2 Raketen auf einem Zug erbeutet.
Die persönliche Anwesenheit von General Eisenhower und der sofortige Abtransport wurden in der Wochenschau gezeigt.

Ich suche hauptsächlich Informationen über die genaue Anzahl der Raketen, Länge des Zuges (Anzahl Waggons), Bewaffnung (4lings Flak ist bekannt) und die Truppenstärke und Zugehörigkeit des Artillerie Regimentes z.b.V. 901 inkl. vorangegangener Einsatzgebiete und Einsätze.

Alle zu erhaltenden Infos sind nur unvollständig und wenig aussagekräftig.
Fotos habe ich 3 Stück, die aber "nur" Ausschnitte zeigen und als Antworten auf meine Fragen nix taugen. Ich hoffe nun, in den Wochenschauen mehr zu sehen bzw. zu erkennen.

Würd mich auch sehr interessieren

... also die "United News":

Part 1 shows the 9th Army fighting in Hanover, Germany, and scenes on other German fronts. Includes shots of German citizens greeting American soldiers and of a captured train load of German V-2 rockets. Part 2 reports the death of President Roosevelt and shows events in his life: taking the oath of office in 1933; the inaugural parade of 1941; signing of the Atlantic Charter with Winston Churchill in 1941; stating his intention to run for a fourth term; at Yalta with Churchill and Stalin; scenes of the Roosevelt Family; and shots of F.D.R. in the White House and fishing in 1929. Includes views of President Truman and his family.

>> Bromskirchen Train

The tiny town of Bromskirchen (25 Km's north of Biedenkopf, north east of Westerwald) was captured by Combat Command B, of the American 3rd Armored Division on March 29, 1945. That day between 8:00 and 9:00 hrs, a train was coming into Bromskirchen from the marshaling yard at Allendorf / Eder. This train was very long with no end in sight. At the head of the line was an oil-fired locomotive and further back was a coal-fired locomotive. After moving a few kilometers, it so happened that the train came to a stop near Bromskirchen because the coal powered locomotive ran out of water.

The train operators did not want to be stuck there in the open so they disconnected the train in the middle and the commanding officer ordered the first half of the train to continue under the power of the oil locomotive to Winterberg. This train only made it to the tunnel at the Brilon Forest. The Americans later found seven railway cars, each containing twelve V2 warheads, one car containing boxes of carbon-graphite V2 rudders, fuzes, batteries, and cans of Z-Stoff (permanganate).

The remaining part of the train, with the steam locomotive, waited about 20 minutes at Bromskirchen to fill up with water. Suddenly, a US tank appeared on the road and opened fire on the train with its machine guns. The locomotive received a direct hit, damaging the main steam pipes and leaving a 15 centimeter (diameter) hole in the locomotive. The railway workers jumped from the train and escaped. It is also believed to have been attacked by P-38 fighter aircraft at some point, possibly a day earlier. After its capture, the Americans found ten railway cars containing 9 damaged and partially burned V2 rockets, plus the scattered parts of another V2 and some warheads. Also, elements of the 3rd Armored Division captured a factory nearby located at Hatzfeld, which contained several intact V2 rockets.

Train A) 10 cars containing 9 complete V-2's (less certain controls and fuzes) and rear half of 10th. Location is G 629772 (sheet R3 1:1000,000) Bromskirchen rail road station.

Train B) 10 cars containing a damaged and partially burned V-2 rockets and warheads and scattered parts of a 9th V-2. The location is B 683128 (Q3 sheet 1:100,000) on railroad line.

Train C) 1 train containing 7 cars of 12 warheads each, 1 car of boxed carbon deflector vanes, fuzes, and jerricans of Z-Stoff (calcium permanganate). Location is G 598698 (R3 sheet 1:100,000) in railroad tunnel.
