GERMAN WARTIME NEWSREELS 20 * with switchable English subtitles * (improved)

(1)
$9.99

Updated and improved as of December 2016, this revised disc includes subtitling which does not extend three lines without being split; tighter and cleaner translating; and some video improvements.

Our translations of Die Deutsche Wochenschau newsreels covering the events, mainly in Europe, from July to August 1942 (with a supplementary film from 1936 ... see description) with first hand film reports.  Each part has variable film quality based on the original films it shows.  Overall, we would say the quality would correspond to a range of well worn VHS to very good DVD quality.  There may be some sound or picture issues on parts of the film.

SOME OF THE TOPICS COVERED:  

  • Bohemia and Moravia’s president, Dr. Emil Hacha, celebrates his 70th birthday
  • Student days of German Art in Salzburg
  • Grosse Deutsche Kunstausstellung 1942 in Munich
  • The discovery and destruction of an Anglo-American convoy to Murmansk
  • Minesweepers in action in the Gulf of Finland
  • Operation Blue proceeds with the Germans and Rumanians crossing the Don River
  • Voronezh is taken by the Germans
  • JU52 transport planes from Crete carry supplies to the North African front
  • Civilians are put to work clearing the rubble in Voronezh
  • The Germans take Voroshilovgrad (Lugansk)
  • A review of the Atlantic and Channel fortifications
  • General Munoz Grandes visits the Fuhrerhauptquartier
  • The battle for Chersones on the most western part of the Crimea
  • Crossing of the Don
  • Rostov is taken

I've been looking for this particular newsreel for some time, since it has the Dieppe footage.  Very happy with this purchase.
