German Newsweek No. 729- 23 August 1944 (Warsaw Uprising, Combat Footage Eastern/Western Front)

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. These newsreels were, of course, not a neutral news source, but would rather spread Nazi propaganda, trying to create the impression that Germany was winning the war and that Germany was fighting a just war, without mentioning the countless war crimes and crimes against humanity commited by German forces. 285 wartime issues were produced, from September 1939 (No. 470) to March 1945 (No. 755). This is issue No. 729 from 23rd August 1944. It shows footage of women replacing men in various jobs, such as tram conductors, at the police or as firefighters, footage from Private Baindner, one of the youngest Knights Cross holders, visiting his home town, combat footage from the Western and Eastern Front, including footage of various armored reconnaissance vehicles and tanks, footage from the outbreak of the Warsaw uprising, and footage of newly raised German divisions and new material being brought to the front. - Subtitles made by me.
