- Synopsis:
As D-Day Approached, specially made films were shown to Allied troops to familiarize them with the enemy. Never before released on DVD, these original films - some in colour - provide a fascinating and invaluable guide to German uniforms, insignia, weapons and field tactics. Presented by military expert Dr. Christopher Bullock, these extraordinary films include a re-creation of German squad level tactics, a guide to using seven different types of German infantry weapons and a review of enemy artillery from the smallest field pieces to gigantic railway guns. There's also a review of German coastal fortifications - essential viewing for men about to throw themselves onto the beaches of Normandy - and a very thorough look at the fighting strengths and tactics of Elite Nazi airborne troops. Other films include a guide to knocking out different types of Panzer tanks, a look at the V-1 and V-2 menace, enemy aircraft identification films and an overview of Axis 'sneak craft' - manned torpedoes and mini-submarines. Also included in this DVD is a rare selection of films made in 1945 to explain to Allied troops why Germany needed to remain occupied. In 'Here is Germany', GIs are shown a terrifying portrayal of German brutality and evil containing unflinching images of concentration camp victims. 'Your Job in Germany' echoes the same sentiments while 'A Defeated People' looks at the British Zone of Occupation but warns of the potential in Germany for greater evil. 'That Justice Be Done' looks at the preparations for Nuremberg and how the Nazis will be punished... - Actors:
