Some felt it was a false alarm brought on by war hysteria.

Then they would have had to falsify the stunning videos and photos.
Don't think so but...

And how many 'video' cameras do you think were around in 1942 ?

Good point. There were no motion picture films way back then. rolls

Fact is the beast that would be available to even a wealthy amateur
and most newsreel cinematographers was 16mm film. Film stock was
relatively expensive , especially in colour and film speeds were low.
Getting useful shots at night was well nigh impossible. Most of the
alleged film of night attacks in WW2 was faked afterwards.

If you see 'stunning' video from that period the chances are its faked.

Stunning is relative.

It is easy to "stun" somebody who has no brain. The vidclip consists of
nothing but artists' concepts of the event and what appears to be
vintage narration, such as found in newsreels of the era -- easy to
fake, although nobody in the narration an alien presence.

It is up to the gullible to fill in the blanks.
