Outline
Explore the Second World War through German newsreel footage that fed the hungry German nation. Shown in cinemas throughout the war, it was through this medium that Goebbels’ propaganda ministry sold its misinformation to the German public, often completely fabricating the events of the war in their favour.
Released as 14 double disc volumes containing 28 discs representing 169 newsreels for a total running time of 3,496 minutes (over 55 hours).
