There are a number of excellent German fiction films that let the Brits have it both barrels, metaphorically speaking. Ohm Kruger, for instance shows the illegal, terrorist British campaign against the Boers in all its criminal savagery complete with concentration camps, etc. Zu Neuen Ufern is a spectacular historical recreation of Victorian England that exposes the moral rot and classist corruption at the heart of the Brit system - it is as good a movie as anything ever made in Hollywood and what a leading lady! Two German documentaries are probably the best for combat footage - Campaign in Poland and Victory in the West, both basically made by Fritz Hippler. They are thrilling movies. German newsreels have sensational combat footage. For one thing German newsreel cameramen took amazing chances (many died getting their footage - the great director Walter Ruttmann died shooting a combat documentary in Poland, for instance because the crew were so close to the real thing) and their stuff is by far the best combat footage ever. The German film industry put out a weekly newsreel and those for the first year and a half of the war are nothing but the most stupendous German triumphs and Allied disasters and humiliations. VERY edifying! |
