Large collection of German WWII era newsreels

[Rjel]

This link to the Internet Archives has hundreds of German newsreels from the late 1930s thru the war years. I only post this for its historical significance.

The Internet Archive is full of treasures of all sorts to be explored. I've been amazed by what I've found there.

Rjel,

 

This is just astounding.  Thank you so much. 

 

It goes beyond the obscure, splashy propaganda footage because so much of it is  randomly thrown together.  It's one crazy Nazi thing on top of another in jarring dissonance.

 

Take, for instance, this one:

See what I mean?  This is like when they were inventing LSD in Switzerland at the very same time. (Sandoz)

 

Yes. I exaggerate.

 

I do have a question though: at the end of some of the clips a new menu is offered that requires registering.  Is it safe to register?

 

Thanks.

I feel it is. I’ve been going to the site for years and never had an issue. It is so much more than just a site with old Nazi propaganda on it. Everything from old newsreels to pictures. Links to now dead websites. Music. Online books. Old video and computer games that can be played through an emulator. More stuff than I can mention.
