"Target for Tonight" is a very well made British film showing the work of the RAF and its night raids on German territory. But the film doesn't just bombings....it shows the entire step-by-step process from photo reconnaissance to analysis to selection to briefings to the actual bombing of the target. Of course, the filmmakers were not allowed to divulge sensitive information, and it says that in the prologue.
The entire film feels as if you are there with the RAF through every step...and it really is quite realistic and lacks the jingoism you often associate with government produced documentaries..as well as the 'rah rah for us' narration. Well worth seeing and an invaluable historical film we need to preserve.
