4.0 out of 5 stars Colour makes the Difference?, 19 Sep 2003

By	Mr. M. R. Carter "MerC" (Hastings, East Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Third Reich In Colour [DVD] [2001] (DVD)

Does colour make a difference? It certainly seems to bring the events closer to our own times. The impact of some scenes hits you with a wallop, knowing for instance, that the gore is real and the bodies are actual corpses - far more explicit than the broadcast footage of the Gulf Wars. Still, I found it a bit irritating to be told of this enhancement on several occasions during the narrative, not to mention the somewhat tedious technical descriptions of the stock used. Nevertheless, what really impressed me was the sheer novelty of the subject matter. To many of us the 1934 Nuremburg Rally is visually familiar through Leni Riefenstahl's work, but I can't remember ever seeing that of 1938 (not that there's a deal of discernible difference from year to year). I would have expected more of the 1936 Olympics though. But it is the amateur, casual material I find really memorable - some of it shot in battle conditions. It is sometimes not so obvious that the ordinary German had little idea of the depravities and deprivations of the 2nd front and the ruinous battles with the Red army. This compilation certainly puts that across.
The real horror is that had Hitler been more circumspect and listened to advice, the power he would have been able to bring to bear should have proved inexorable. We must thank Providence for megalomania and the climate of Russia. Even without the infamous greatcoat buttons of tin, the Russian winter did for the Wehrmacht as it did for Napoleon more than a century earlier. You'd have thought they'd have learnt the unavoidable lesson.
We in the West have been brought up to believe the Allies won the 2nd world war : rather Hitler lost it. With his death went the infamous 3rd Reich, Nazi pseudo-philosophy and their incredibly evil proponents. This DvD goes some way to reminding people we can never risk it happening again. Does colour make a difference? I suppose it does. Some of these scenes could have been shot in April this year....

4.0 out of 5 stars Colour Brings Home Realism, 6 May 2001

By A Customer

The video, Third Reich in Colour is very good, contrary to the standard of many video's about the subject. I myself am an A Level History student and have examined the Third Reich in great depth and this video revealed many things I did not realise. It examines the behind the scenes state of affairs in Nazi Germany as well as the cosmetic outer layer. However, the Video does put perhaps a little too much emphasis upon the battles of the second world war and is disproportianate considering that half of the Nazis rule was before the war and, as some may state, more interesting. However, all in all it is a good educational videos, those students amongst us, and those who are interested in the subject...

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful archive material, well presented., 20 Jun 2001

By	P. White (Cambridge, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Third Reich In Colour [DVD] [2001] (DVD)

This is over 3 hours of colour film from 1937 to 1945, largely shot within Deutschland but not completely. It is well mastered and the narration by Robert Powell is informative. My only criticisms are: a) The background music is repetitive and intrusive. b) The two programmes on the disc have different film but identical chronology, ie. 37 to 45 on one then 37 to 45 again on the other.
