The Fall of France May - June 1940 (DVD)
The German Propaganda Kompanien (PK) captured the events of Hitler’s war on every front. Their footage was used to produce Die Deutsche Wochenschau, a weekly cinema newsreel detailing the events of World War II on land, sea and air.
For the first time these unique primary source films have been collated, edited and translated into English in order to produce a complete military history of the Third Reich drawn exclusively from German primary sources. This amazing range of films captures the events of World War II exactly as they were presented to contemporary cinema audiences while the actions on the battlefield were still unfolding.
This volume features translated Wochenschau newsreels dating from May and June 1940 and records the military events of the blitzkrieg campaign leading to the fall of France.
"Kama ilivyoelezwa katika makala ya ""Kushindwa kwa Ufaransa"" ya Mei-Juni 1940, ""Kampagne ya Uenezaji wa Ujerumani"" (PK) ilifunua matukio ya vita vya Hitler katika kila mstari." "Kulingana na ripoti ya gazeti la ""Die Deutsche Wochenschau,"" filamu hiyo ilitoa habari za kila wiki kuhusu vita vya pili vya dunia, vita vya baharini, na vita vya angani." Kwa mara ya kwanza, filamu hizi za kipekee za chanzo cha msingi zimekusanywa, kuhaririwa na kutafsiriwa kwa Kiingereza ili kutengeneza historia kamili ya kijeshi ya Reich ya Tatu iliyochorwa tu kutoka kwa vyanzo vya msingi vya Ujerumani. Filamu hii ya ajabu inashika matukio ya Vita Kuu ya Pili ya Dunia kama vile yalivyotolewa kwa watazamaji wa sinema wa kisasa wakati vitendo kwenye uwanja wa vita vilikuwa bado vinaendelea. Kitabu hiki kina makala zilizotafsiriwa za Wochenschau za Mei na Juni 1940 na kinarekodi matukio ya kijeshi ya kampeni ya blitzkrieg inayoongoza kwenye kuanguka kwa Ufaransa.
