5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful documentary, May 6, 2005

This review is from: Ruins of the Third Reich (DVD)

This film was shot in 1947 by an American industrialist and covers the destruction of the Third Reich in World War II. Many of the Nazi Party's most sacred and important sites appear in this film in total ruins. Included is rare and never before seen footage of Hitler's bunker, the Reich's Chancellery, Hitler's office, Nuremberg rally sites, and much more. Included is footage of Goebbel's residence after being partially destroyed by Russian gunfire, Luftwaffe Administrative Headquarters (Post War American Military Government H.Q.), the Reichstag and the 1870 Victory Column that Hitler had raised by 30 feet (meters?). Also seen is the Olympic Stadium where the 1936 Games took place, the Krupp Steelworks in Essen, the former Krupp Estate (British Administrative H.Q.), the ruins of Cologne, a trip up the Rhine, the Nuremberg Palace of Justice as well as the Munich beer garden (Burger Brau Keller) where Hitler's career began. This film is a fascinating historical document and time capsule depicting the aftermath of Germany's destruction in World War II.

This review is from: Ruins of the Third Reich (DVD)

This was a totally silent video. No Narrative and shot by a amatuer photographer doing work in Germany post World War 2. If this had been mention in the description of this DVD, I never would have bought it,

This review is from: Ruins of the Third Reich (DVD)

I'm a huge WWII buff and this film has a lot of footage I've never seen before anywhere else. If you're serious about your study of the 2nd World War I think this is something that would be very interesting. It has some great footage of the Reichs Chancellery and the aftermath of WWII in Berlin. The film has the original titles explaining where the film was shot. It also has a fantastic classical music score by Wagner. As you're viewing the decimated German cities you're listening to Hitlers favorite composer... Somewhat Ironic I'd say. Overall as a student of WWII I was pleased with this DVD.
