rommel-funeral-volkssturm

I hope it is not a repost. If you like the stuff I will post more similar pages.
Thanks for your time

Fascinating Milos,
I'd seen snippets of some of it but never in such complete context.
The coverage of Rommel's funeral is staggeringly hypocritical, with our modern hindsight, when one considers the apparent circumstances of his death.
(I also didn't know he was carried to his grave by an Sd.Kfz7, so thanks in particular for that little detail!)

Cheers, (and welcome)
Adam.

Thanx Milos!

I also have seen parts somewhere before but as usual I only know pages where you can buy to get the whole Wochenshau series for separate years so have not bothered to do so.

Interesting, it seems only Rundstedt was there to present the Hitler side??

After the Rommel funeral I wonder if they are taking furniture from East Prussia to west? That was total waste considering the military situation....

so please tell me which file to embald in my site (funny comercial stuff here) but pages related to this subject are my own pick...does not fit in this site content at all)
sorry if there are some spelling errors....
p.s. if anyone can translate the speach from German to English so i can put translation text in video .....thank you

To nit pick this is not uncut footage. It is the same as The Pathe Newsreels. Raw footage shot by the cameraman is chopped up to make the final product. If you visit the IWM you can see the original unedited British footage as shot. It would be great to know if the original German reels still exist.

Your spelling is just fine, errors or not. If we can't figure it out, we'll ask.

You'd hate to see me try to spell a word in your language, much less a whole sentence or paragraph.

What country do you live in, Milos31, Deutschland?
