1942 UFA GERMAN NEWSREEL LOCOMOTIVE FACTORY ITALIAN BLACKSHIRTS PARADE OTTO DIETRICH XD57875

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 It is presented in its original form as an historical document so that students, educators, researchers and the general public can see how the Nazi regime justified its criminal activities.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.

Dating to February or March of 1942, this somewhat fragmentary German UFA propaganda newsreel provides a series of reports documenting political and military events across Axis-aligned and occupied territories during World War II. This includes occupied France, where Marshall Petain is shown visiting the warship Dunkerque. Note: the film is presented in Spanish and was apparently made to show to German sympathizers in Franco's Spain.
