Rare and Unseen Film Footage of Hitler

Thanks Kapuziner. Here's a wide shot.

new to me.....

Meaning of Insignia

Can anyone tell me what this represents?
The photo was taken in occupied Paris in 1942.

Thanks derGespenst. Interesting. I don't know what kind of field communications the Germans were using but I'll inlude this frame for reference from the film to see if it would correspond with your observation. 1941 is possible but I still would have thought a little earlier, say 1937-'38. http://im...

What Year is This Truck?

I have a short film shot by a relative.
I'm guessing it was shot while he was
a reservist, 1936-1937. Can anyone
give an accurate opinion by looking
at the truck?

I have many photographs of German
soldiers, troops, marching in "winter
scenes". It's not the eastern front but
no one would know the difference...

Let me know what the photos will be used
for if you're interested.

I have a handful of photos but I can't tell
you much about them other than they were taken in the
Fall of 1939 on the Seigfried Line.

Hitler Youth - Town of the White Tents

I'm wondering of anyone in this forum knows something about a propaganda film entitled "Town of the White Tents". From the little I've learned - it has to do with the Hitler Youth - shot in 1935. I believe my uncle was involved with some aspect of the filming when he was in his late teens....

I would post your question under the "Vetrans" or
"Personalities and Award Holders" catagory. The
"Items for Sale or Trade" catagory gets very little
attention and doesn't really fall under your requirements....

International Historic Films out of Chicago is an excellent source

They'll supply a catalogue if you send a request....
