I love these newsreels. So high quality in some aspects despite being made over 80 years ago.

[@pb7784]

Sie waren die besten Soldaten der Welt, haben vor allem alliierte Offiziere bezeugt.

[@donlopezdeaguirre4048]

Unzweifelhaft die beste Armee aller Zeiten.
Die Recoursen waren jedoch völlig unzureichend und die Übermacht wuchs auf das mehr als 20fache an trotz aller unserer Verbündeten...

this newsreel excellent German newsreel contains more images of Dunkirk battle/evacuation than i have ever seen in any UK documentaries and i am 60 years old. I can count on one hand the usual moving b/w clips that are monotonously replayed in all British documentaries. I know that in 1940 the UK War Office had no official movie/photo department( including BBC) so i am surprised these clips were not used before. ( e.g. The World at War 1973 J Isaacs)

the greatest mistake was in dunkirk. the stop of the Panzerkoprs

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Not a single British tank to be seen.
