Have you ever listened to those evocative sounds on WW-II television documentaries and wondered about their origin?
A Hurricane fighter with its straining Rolls Royce Merlin engine taking off from a forward strip in the Battle of Britain; the heavy fire of an armoured assault as Panzer-grenadiers, firing machine-pistols and flame-throwers in support of the Waffen-SS assaulting the forward positions; Stukas screaming down on zig-zagging convoys whilst Royal Naval gunners throw up a constant wall of anti-aircraft fire?

Flying Fortresses thundering down their runways, desperately hauling their full bomb-loads into the air and heading for the industrial heartland of Hitler's Germany; boots on cobblestones as British infantrymen fight through northern France to the crack of rifle fire and the rattle of heavy machine guns as German defenders put up a desperate defence, before being overrun by Allied tanks in support?

With war-time newsreels shot mute, many sound effects are brought from Tomahawk Film's captured German archive for dubbing by sound engineers; clients include the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 & 5 and many international television production companies and museums including Britain's renowned Imperial War Museum in London.
