This series, ‘A Newsreel History of the Third Reich’, includes unique footage plundered by Russian Troops in 1945. Compiled as it is from German newsreels which were made under the influence of Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda, these are by no means accurate histories but allow unique insight into how the period leading up to and including WW2 was presented to the German people.

Volume 3 deals with the first part of the year 1940. It covers the occupation of Copenhagen and Denmark; the Dutch and Belgium invasions and surrender; the battle of Dunkirk and the evacuation of the British; the surrender of France and signing of the Armistice and the victory parades in Paris.
