GERMAN WARTIME NEWSREELS 06 * with switchable English subtitles * (improved)

Updated and improved as of November 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 October to November 1940 (but also including two supplements on the End of the War in Belgium and The Beginning of the End in France), 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 are some sound and picture quality issues on some of the selections.
