| Good stuff, with some nice colour footage of Wehrmacht B vehicles. The second part's interesting, kind of surprised at just how modern the Autobahns looked, this was an advanced country they chose to throw away... YouTube - Breslau 1939 Teil 2

| all the you tube videos of the day are from the lengthy propaganda newsreels from the Deutsche Wochenschau some of it remastered and sold here in the states as well as in Germany. funny it is really under the copyright of the Bundes archiv or so they think they have even mentioned they will prosecute anyone taking the reels in any form for personal publication and or sales.......... yeah right, they seem to be back in the stone ages
