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 17 deals with the first part of the year 1944. It covers events on all the German fronts including: Western Front - Rommel inspects the troops and fortifications along the Channel coast; Home Front - preparations in Berlin against bomber raids;  Eastern Front - tactical withdrawals around Narva, new front lines established, reinforcements for the front, artillery and troops; Medit. Front - Allied troops advance at Monte Cassino.
