Thanks for sharing. It is difficult to see this as a German but absolutely necessary.
Well done for posting this – hope the producers don’t chase you re copyright. The taking heads and period film was very interesting – less so the reconstructions – I’d have thought it wouldn’t have been hard to use replica Wehrmacht uniforms/ helmets. The Fallschirmjager were withdrawn immediately after the battle of Crete.
Paul – these are on You Tube. I am just linking. If there is a copyright issue the movie will be removed from You Tube and my links will fail to work. There is no copyright issue here. I try to respect that as much as possible, but it can be a grey area with the internet.
