Summary: A film on the armament of the Do 217E.
Description: A diagram shows the positions of the six machine guns in the cabin - one MG 151 fixed forward and five free-mounted guns (one in a dorsal turret). A demonstration of loading bombs is given. A pulley system is set up in the bomb bay and four bombs (two 500 and two 250 kg, probably) are raised and fixed in. The racks are then changed for an alternative arrangement of larger bombs. A torpedo may also be installed - the attachments are again changed and a torpedo hoisted and fixed. Wing bombs or mines are attached in a similar manner.
