Newsreel History of the Third Reich: European Domination (2007)

This educational and thought provoking series comprises German newsreel recordings and includes unique footage plundered by Russians troops. Directed and orchestrated under the influence of Goebbels s Ministry of Propaganda, it is by no means an accurate historical depiction but a fascinating insight into how the period leading up to and including World War Two was portrayed to the German people. This episode covers early 1940 as Hitler s forces steamrollered Western Europe. It deals with the invasion and surrender of Holland, Belgium, Norway and Denmark; the Battle of Dunkirk and the subsequent British evacuation and the capitulation of France including the victory parades through Paris.
