Editorial Reviews

From the Actor

Director/writer R.J. Adams discovered that filming as well as finding these enormous fortress was both a challenge and adventure. For example, for more than sixty years the Polish Government has denied the existance of any such place called "Order Castle Krossinsee". They were completely unwilling to provide us with any information whatsoever. Finding this massive complex was like looking for a needle in a heystack. But not only did we find it, but we were allowed to film it thanks to the help of the American Embassy in Warsaw. Infact, this program marks the first time that all three former Nazi Order Castles have ever been captured on film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hitler's Hidden Treasures, July 2, 2001

This review is from: Order Castles of the Third Reich [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Order Castles have to be one of Hitler's best kept secret. Until now I've never heard of either the NSDAP's Political soldiers or their enormous training facities at the Order Castles.The program beautifully captures both the unique style of the secret castles and their intriquing history. Totally informative and picturesque. Excellent quality throughout. Highly recommended especially for schools.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally something different, November 20, 2003

Doug Hemingway (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Order Castles of the Third Reich [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Actually, I bought this video for my dad who's really into the
subject of the Third Reich. But I just couldn't resist slipping
the VHS into my player and I was completely taken in. Not only
is this something different from the usual re-hashed titles one
normally sees on this subject, but quality and presentation was superb. Extremely interesting and unique. Most highly recommended.
