The German - Spitfire vs. ME-109

My buddy Joe Miller sent this to me.

Here's the paragraph which was included in the email:

 

This is a fascinating, nine-minute film called "The German"; particularly the incredible four- minute footatage of a desperate Spitfire vs. ME-109 dog fight. You feel like you are there! Amazing computer work blended in with real photography. Also an interesting factual story that most of us did not know.

 

Now sit back and strap on your parachute harness; it is the Summer of 1940 during the Battle of Britain. Listen to the perfect 'purr' of the Rolls Royce Merlin.

Just finished watching it (hadn't gotten much done at work today obviously!) It is very well done. Was it just a short or was it a part of some other longer show/movie?

As far as I know, just a "short".
