World World War 2 Through Axis Eyes
Captured German Newsreels
All on one DVD!

German combat cameramen were celebrities for a good reason. This is a treasure trove of World War 2 newsreels that were shown in Germany, occupied counties and countries friendly to the Axis powers.Supplementary text in English has been added, but the pictures tell the story here.Of course, some of these films have an obvious propaganda slant: Nazi leaders are idolized and retreats are portrayed as victories. But they are also a unique and very dramatic collection of seldom seen World War 2 combat footage, often in very good to excellent condition, that shows events as they happened. (We have digitally restored the video & audio sound tracks. See a sample gallery of images here.)

"I regularly watch the cable history channels, but most of this footage is completely new to me or I have only seen snippets from longer scenes that are shown here in their entirety. From a raucous ready room at a Luftwaffe night fighter base to tank battles on the frozen steppes of Russia, this is a tremendous collection of World War 2 combat and historical footage, as seen from 'the other side'" Zeno
