Die Wehrmacht 1944 Nr 1 Pt 1 - Hegewald Colony - Heinrich Himmler - Generalplan Ost - Gulag - DW 697

SUPPORT THE CHANNEL COME AND SEE That’s beautiful private footage from a German soldier taken in the Ukraine in the fall of 1943 that shows a defensive fort made out of logs; I love the tall camouflaged watch tower. That’s something you’d expect to see in an American wild west film. For the Nazi’s that’s what the Ukraine was, a territory to move into, tame and incorporate into the greater German nation. Sort of a German manifest destiny. The film, taken near the Russian city of Shitomir, fits in nicely with our subject for the day. Today We’ll be looking at this special edition of Die Wehrmacht from 1944 and see film footage related to the articles in it. The normal Die Wehrmacht periodicals were intended to be sold in Germany. The Die Wehrmacht Ausgabe A - or Edition A - were sold in allied and occupied countries and today are more valuable than the normal editions. Here we can see the prices for the different countries.
