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 6 deals with the second part of the year 1941. It covers events on all the German fronts including: War Against the Soviet Union - Finland and Germany face the Soviet threat; Finnish Front - the battles for Kovno in Lithuania; Eastern Front - the heavy artillery and ariel attack on Brest; Ukraine Front -  the battle for Kiev; Home Front - volunteers from occupied countries join German forces against the Soviets.
