Brits who fought for Hitler (taal Engels, ca. 45 min.NIET ondertiteld):
As the Russian army moved towards Berlin in the last months of the Third Reich, the crumbling Nazi forces were joined by some unlikely reinforcements ? a British SS unit. This documentary, based on formerly classified information, tells the story of these treacherous men. The pro-Nazi soldiers were the brainchild of the upper-class, Harrow-educated John Amery, a conman and sexual psychopath whose father served in Churchill?s war cabinet. Although he was a quarter Jewish (his father was half Jewish) , Amery was an anti-Semite renowned for making speeches welcoming the German invaders in France. He then offered his services to Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels, and began working with notorious broadcaster Lord Haw Haw. 

Churchills German Soldiers (taal Engels, ca. 45 min. Ned. ondertitel ingebakken):
This is the compelling story of the 10,000 Germans and Austrians who fled Nazi persecution and joined the British forces in their fight against Hitler during the Second World War. Known affectionately as 'the King's most loyal enemy aliens', many were Jews, but a significant number were political opponent of the Nazi regime and so-called 'degenerate artists'. With one or two exceptions, these refugees in uniform did not receive British nationality until 1946-47. At the end of the War, they returned in their thousands to Germany and Austria to begin the reconstruction of their homelands and the hunt for Nazi war criminals. Helen Fry documents the stories of those who fought for King and adopted country, drawing on a rich vein of archive material and personal accounts to bring this little-known aspect of British wartime history to light. 

Het leek me wel iets om deze 2 contraversiele docu's op 1 DVD te zetten.
De meeste verzamelaars zullen deze wel al hebben, dus voor diegene die ze gemist hebben.
Voor geïnteresseerden dus.
