Lost Home Movies of Nazi Germany - Part 1 | History Documentary Watch 'Lost Home Movies of Nazi Germany - Part 2' here: https://youtu.be/RA4nLwJ7WoU A candid look at what life was really like for those living in, and under Hitler's Swastika - at home - and abroad, a record not only of what they saw, but of what they knew. Recently discovered home movie footage from 1936 offers a unique and novel insight into what people in Germany were thinking and experiencing. In these pre-war days, Germany was on a high and the Hitler Youth seemed like fun and games, but Nazi control was soon an all-pervading force, militarising the nation. The rise of anti-semitism is explicit and grotesque; shocking even with knowledge of what happens next. When war breaks out, the film follows an infantry division during the invasion of France, fighting their way to Dunkirk and revealing a new perspective on what the evacuation meant for the average German soldier. On the Eastern Front, a far darker and more visceral journey across the endless Russian steppe and the almost unimaginable horrors unleashed during Operation Barbarossa is captured by a soldier. As well as amateur movie footage the film charts the progress of the war through the diaries of ordinary Germans, some dizzy with excitement at what Hitler has achieved, others horrified by the effect it is having on their friends and families. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe Free Documentary - History Channel for free: https://bit.ly/2FjRPgV Facebook: https://bit.ly/2QfRxbG Twitter: https://bit.ly/2QlwRiI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #FreeDocumentaryHistory #Documentary #NaziGermany ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free Documentary - History is dedicated to bringing high-class documentaries to you on YouTube for free.
