[Skoblin]

This forum is open to all members wishing to discuss military video documentation - newsreels or documentaries. The moderator has access to over 350GB of newsreels and related combat footage from World War II and other conflicts during the 20th Century from German, British, Vichy French, Italian, Hungarian and Soviet sources, as well as a few other countries. If there is anything any ACG member is looking for in particular - a certain battle, campaign, military equipment, units, etc - post your request here.

Tough call there, Legate. My newsreels from WWI are mostly French from January to September 1918. Have footage from the Western, Italian and Salonika fronts, including Saint-Mihiel.

Absolutely fantastic and I don't even speak French . Any newsreels on the Battle of Normandy post D-Day (in English pretty please )?

Yes....about 50 or 60. Give me an idea of location and time frame......

Dear ACG staff .
I want to make a complaint .
When someone is consistantly posting stuff as good as skoblin, why can't we rep them twice in a row.
He is constantly posting great stuff the rest of us would not have a clue on how to obtain, and deserves all the credit that should be his due.

I believe I have something showing reindeer on the Lapland front. Will check through my Soviet newsreels for Norway and Special Forces.

Doubtful any videos on German flights over Sweden. Was generally frowned on to film that. I do have one of a Soviet bombing raid on Sweden though. Will post in a Winter War thread.

Any footage of the War Trophy Exhibition in Moscow in 1943?
