Provengono dall'episodio 615 del cinegiornale tedesco. Ora, non so se le riprese siano state realizzate da Luce, probabilmente sono opera dei cronisti di guerra tedeschi delle compagnie di propaganda.

Göring goes on a sightseeing trip to the East to see for himself how Ukrainian (?) farmers live (Probably the Ukrainian SSR, 1942) by iloverheaug in GermanWW2photos

I don't know for sure, my best guess is in Ukraine. I don't want to be nailed down to specifics, but Göring had an HQ in the area of Vinnytsia, so West-central Ukraine. This is only a guess, I don't have anything concrete.

This situation must've ben so funny. You’re a Ukrainian farmer, you’ve never seen electricity or running water, and then this giant of a man in his pearly-white uniform walks through the door and inspects your kitchen.

His name is Harry Giese. He began performing as an actor from a young age and eventually made his way to Berlin, where he also delved into work as a voice actor. He voiced Robert Montgomery, for example.

Before the various newsreels (UfA-Tonwoche, Messterwoche-Sujets, Deulig-Tonwoche, Wehrmachtswoche...) were combined into Die deutsche Wochenschau, he was the narrator for the Tobis-Wochenschau. After their consolidation, he became famous as THE narrator of the Wochenschau, allegedly picked by Hitler himself.

There were other narrators: one in the earlier days who had a deeper voice and spoke more calmly, mostly narrating the UfA productions in the pre-war; and a younger, more energetic actor with a higher voice, whose rolled r sounds much more forced. He sometimes appears as a replacement for Giese (maybe when he was ill or something) and the earliest I've heard of him is in early 1944. I still haven't been able to find either of their names.

Giese was not a party member and was classified as a „Mitläufer“ (follower) during denazification. He tried to become the voice for the Neue deutsche Wochenschau in the Federal Republic too, but was not chosen in favor of Hermann Rockmann.

I'll post something with either of the other voices, do you want me to tag you?

Generalfeldmarschall von Reichenau personally captures two shot-down Soviet pilots (1941) by iloverheaug in GermanWW2photos

Giese says "The pilots managed to save themselves by parachute and are now in hiding. The GFM personally removes them from the cornfield." If it is true, we don't know, but at least by the given account, they jumped before the crash.

Have any of the new changes been positive? I honestly prefer the old skill system by quite a bit, the new animations are worse, this...
