GERMAN WARTIME NEWSREELS 26 - 35 * with switchable English subtitles *

 

10 DVD SET corresponds to Numbers 26 through 35 of our translations of Die Deutsche Wochenschau newsreels (in addition to any supplments listed in the description below), mainly in Europe, from May 1943 to June 1944, 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 excellent VHS quality.  There is some sound and picture quality issues on some of the selections, but that corresponds to only a small percentage of the total.
