This series, ‘A Newsreel History of the Third Reich’, includes unique footage plundered by Russian Troops in 1945. Compiled as it is from German newsreels which were made under the influence of Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda, these are by no means accurate histories but allow unique insight into how the period leading up to and including WW2 was presented to the German people.

Volume 18 deals with the second part of the year 1944. It covers events on all the German fronts including: Western Front - the defense of Cherbourg at the mouth of the River Orne against heavy naval and land attacks; Eastern Front - the Warsaw Uprising; Home Front - Goebbels’ speech promising retaliation for the bombing of Berlin with the new revenge weapons the V1 and V2, the attempted assassination of Hitler.
