Описание: Disclaimer:

This historic German film was produced during WWII as propaganda in support of the National Socialist regime. It is presented in its original form as an historical document so that students, educators, researchers and the general public can see how the Nazi regime justified its criminal activities. The political symbols of the regime, including the flag, swastika and eagle, may appear on screen. Periscope Film absolutely condemns the Nazi regime and affirms that it committed grave atrocities, war crimes, and crimes against humanity before and during WWII. These include the tragic, mass extermination of millions of innocent civilians. We preserve these films in part so that these terrible events and victims are not forgotten.


"Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." -- Winston Churchill

Dating from the WWII era and sold to Germans for enjoyment at home, this silent reel of newsreels shows various news events and Kriegsmarine activities. The first short newsreel is titled "The German Navy Patrols the Sea." The film shows German warships patrolling the North Sea and the English Channel the early part of the war. It contains images at 1:55 of the British aircraft carrier HMS Courageous which was sunk by submarine-launched torpedo on 17 September 1939. At 1:59, footage of the crew and Captain Otto Schuhart of the U-29, which sunk the ship, being congratulated by Adolf Hitler. At 2:49 the German surface fleet and U-boats are shown during a pre-war exercise. At 3:34, Großadmiral Karl Dönitz, Supreme Commander of the Kriegsmarine, is shown in a touring car. At 3:37, the film shows damage to the Bürgerbräukeller beer hall, site of an attempted assassination of Hitler and other Nazi leaders by Georg Elser. Elser's time bomb exploded, killing eight people and injuring 57, but Hitler had cut short his speech and had already left. Coffins of the deceased are shown draped in German flags at 4:20. At 4:48, Hitler comforts a relative of a victim. At 5:12, a title card "The Enemy England" shows German aircraft raiding British shipping prior to the start of the Battle of Britain. At 5:27 a large German Dornier Do 26 flying boat is seen, as well as other amphibious aircraft and seaplanes. At 6:35, the film (identical to source 20434a) shows U-boats in action, including shots of a group of U-boats in formation as they head out to sea, shots inside of the boat as it dives, and the captain lining up a torpedo strike on the periscope. At 8:30, German submarine U-41 is shown diving, a Type IXA built in 1939. At 10:30, the U-38, also a Type IXA, crew mans a deck gun for a confrontation on the surface. At 11:30, "Hussars of the Sea" show German E-boats in action. In German these were called Schnellboot, or S-Boot, meaning "fast boats". At 15:07, E-boat commanders are decorated.
