| A small update... | ||
I think it should be time for a update  ... in the months that have passed since the last update, I have managed to upload the following movies. Too bad for people searching for Allied material, I havent found anything thus far. Its all 100% Axis again.We start with a compilation of Hitler's birthday parades. It starts with 1933, and then you will see the 1936, 1939, 1942, and atlast 1945. The last one is the famous last public apperance of Hitler who inspects a group of Hitlerjugend. Then I have uploaded two movies about the Hitlerjugend. You will see the daily activies of the Hitlerjugend, and how they are trained to be good Germans. Junges Europa Unsere Jungen - Ein Film der Napola Then I got a movie about the SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. In this movie, you will see the various theateres the Leibstandarte fought in. Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler im Einsatz Ofcourse, lots of training movies were made during the war. I found one dealing with how a tank crew can defend itself against threats like enemy infantery. Its the opposite of a other, much better known German training movie, Männer gegen Panzer. This is Panzer im Angriff - Zerschlagen feindlicher Panzernahbekämpfer - Lehrfilm Nr 454 I also got two feature film-length movies. The first is Ohm Krüger. This movies shows the British horrors during the Second Anglo-Boer war in the Oranje Vrystaat and the Transvaal during 1899-1902. What has this to do with WWII you may think? Well this movie is made in 1941. Alot of Boers are of German descent so the filmmaker used this against the British to show that the British are beasts and will also do this to you should they invade. Although the movie exaggarates the events a bit for propaganda purposes, the events shown are real. Boer farms were burned and the women and childern where sent to concentration camps were 50% of the Boer women and childern died. The filmmaker thus found this an ideal oppertunity to stir anti-British feelings under the Germans. Ohm Krüger And last but not least... Kolberg. Kolberg is the last 'big' German warmovie made. It is from 1945 and was intended to boost the morale of the war-torn German population. The movie however came too late for that, since by the time the movie was completed, Kolberg had already been taken by the Soviets and the cinema's in the (remmants) of the Reich closed down a few weeks later. The movie was made at all costs. As you can see the battles are done with thousands of people, most of them were soldiers who had to be diverted from frontline action to appear in the movie!
