German Newsweek No. 598- 19 February 1942 (Funeral Dr. Todt,Eastern Front,Afrikakorps, Channel Dash)

The German Newsweek (Die Deutsche Wochenschau) was the unified newsreel of Germany from 1940-1945. The concept of a weekly newsreel was much older, dating back to WWI, and in the 1930s, there were several different weekly newsreels in Germany. With the outbreak of WWII, these were unified and from June 1940 shown under the title of "The German Newsweek". It was one of the most important aspects of German propaganda. Each week, over 2000 copies were sent to theaters and movie houses throughout Germany and shown to the general public, as private TV ownership was extremly rare during WWII. 285 wartime issues were produced, from September 1939 (No. 470) to March 1945 (No. 755). This is issue No. 598 from late February 1942. It shows footage from the state funeral of Fritz Todt, including a review of his life and work, visits of Romanian leader Antonescu and Norwegian leader Quisling to Hitler, footage from the northern parts of the Eastern Front and from Crimea, and from the fight in North Africa. The last section shows footage from the Channel Dash, the evacuation of heavy naval units from Brest to German ports through the English Channel. - Subtitles made by me.
