Absolutely FANTASTIC...I am seeing footage that I have NEVER seen before..the fact that my Grandfather was taken prisoner by 90th Light at the tail end of El Alemein is just staggering to behold in that he watched World at War and although no gone (but not forgotten)..seeing these scenes especially at the end of a private film is actually bringing my Grandfather alive..that he was living these moments when this was filmed. Also..just as a footnote...my Grandfather stated on being taken prisoner..loads of Germans HAD cameras! (The British Army was VERY averse to men and officers taking pictures) Plus..many were wearing issue spectacles. He also said..no matter what..even under the heaviest (British) gunfire.."..they always has a sense of still wearing their caps.." ""I never really saw a Jerry wearing a helmet.."
The portion of the newsreel about Velikiye Luki deserves its own hour-long video. The two+ year epic of the bloody offensive & defensive struggles around that little Russian town were shocking in their intensity & violence. In his book, Hitler Moves East, Paul Carell devotes an entire chapter to the brave German & Russian soldiers who fought & died for 2 long years around, what the author called, that fortress in the swamp. After the war the vindictive & bitter soviet victors, picked out from their P.O.W. camps any German troops who had fought at Velikiye Luki; took them back to the fortress and there, tried them by court martial. One man of each rank was sentenced to death by hanging-one general, one colonel, one lieutenant-colonel, one major, one captain, one lieutenant, one top sergeant, one sergeant, one senior corporal, one corporal, and one private. On 29th January, 1946 the men were publicly hanged in Lenin Square in Velikiye Luki. Among them were the commander of 277th Infantry Regiment and the former town commandant, company commanders, railway officials, junior commanders, and rankers. All others who could be rounded up were sentenced to twenty or twenty-five years' imprisonment at hard labor. Only eleven of them survived to return to Germany between 1953 and 1955. For some reason, being unable to recapture this unknown Russian town back from the Germans, infuriated Stalin & STAKVA, so they made an example of the Germans who fought there. Something similar also happened in what was then Kharkov after it was finally recaptured by the Russians for the final time.

8:07 Crusader III tank with a 6pounder/57mm gun. Final variant first used in the second battle of El Alamein in 1942 and last used in Tunisia, 1943 for combat by the Brits except for those fitted with AA guns used in NW Europe 1944-45. Small and fast but lightly armored and not particularly reliable in the harsh desert conditions , it was replaced by the Cromwell cruiser tanks and Shermans. The Crusader I and II were used for most of the desert war but with the small 2 pounder 47mm guns that limited their effectiveness (hence the upgrade to the 57mm gun.
Una soberbia complicación de videos, con imágenes fabulosas. Una gran labor filmar esas escenas que nos dan una idea más acertada de las condiciones que enfrentaron los hombres, máquinas y material. Son imágenes inéditas para mí y de un gran valor, en especial, las últimas. Felicidades por tan fino trabajo, gracias. Un cordial saludo.

First time for me to see a U-Boat taking on a torpedo like that, from a Type XIV milch cow it appears? No way I'd want to do that, in even a in a mild sea. Getting caught between the boat & torpedo looks pretty easy, the boat is barely floating & trimmed so far down at the bow. Never thought about that bit! =) _The Falangist Spaniards (the 250th?) were all volunteers within the Wehrmacht, not he SS., an unusual unit. Love to know how Franco got most out, what he offered Hitler. Thanks M1945._
Все цели были достигнуты. 1. Гитлер получил много испанских головорезов. А Франко соответственно избавился от особенно ретивых идиотов. 2. Эти головорезы были утилизированы русскими, Воздух стал чище. 3. Гитлер пустил больше крови русским. Как будто 20 миллионов убитых мирных жителей ему было мало.
Lots of books are written about the Franco-Hitler issue, only thing needed is reading any of them. Btw, not all the soldiers of the 250th were falangists, they were mostly in the first wave in june of 1941.
The "American" tanks they show at about 8 minutes look like British Crusaders. I can't find any reference yet to the US Army using British tanks in North Africa. Maybe someone else knows?
To begin with, by November 1943 the landings at Salerno had already taken place. The Blue Division had left the Eastern Front... and what you say. They recycled older reels with older and better news than those available by the end of 1943.
At the moment of the decoration of Spanish soldiers can see an unusual use of the insignia of rank on left breast rather than the normal worn on upper sleeve.

Incredible footage. I will say most of us viewing this have no real understanding of the hell of war. Aside..... at the beginning of the fillmclip...a torpedo is being loaded via a line-and-pulley system into the sub.....looks like front-end first !..... looks dangerous if lines should let go !!!!
Awsume fred . I was given a my elderly next door neighbours africa desert rats uniform and his map cas before he passed, he saw my passion for ww2 history, then i eventually served in the modern day desert rats . Now a division. Not sure what now as left in 2013. Unfortunately i lost what he gave me as moved god knows how many times . His map case still had the the markings of German positions on the protective covers. Such a shame i lost it .
Hey Carl. I'm looking for a platform where I can pay royalties to use all these great classical composers in my productions. Do you have any suggestions?
goes to show you to never volunteer for anything. The Spanish must have had the biggest regret ever...imagine moving from someplace like Seville to the barbaric Eastern Front of Leningrad and all they got was a small cross of iron
The Spaniards have been proud to this day of having fought Bolshevism in their lair, which committed great massacres in Spain. The fighting in Leningrad was tough and the Russians respected the fierceness of the Spanish soldier. You would have to read the memoirs of many "guripas" to understand the psychology of the divisionary...
Did you really silence the "früher trugen es nur die (forbidden german N word) in the bush)" at 8:14? I have seen that segment from another source so I know ;)

Yes, that is true
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the eastern front as snow.
