Updated and improved as of November 2016, this revised disc includes subtitling which does not extend three lines without being split (despite the above picture); tighter and cleaner translating; and some video improvements.

Our translations of Die Deutsche Wochenschau newsreels covering the events, mainly in Europe, from August to October 1940, 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 good 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.
