A massive collection of pre-WW1/WW1 and later films

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 11-03-13, 11:08 PM

I stumbled across this site while of the Rise of Flight forums, which has a massive collection of film from pre-WW1,during the Great War and afterwards. Most of the films are German of course but there are some British and French films in there as well. Take a look here: http://www.filmportal.de/videos?titl...gory%5B%5D=678

Fantastic find, thanks for bringing it to our attention. Some really good quality films in there, and major kudos to the Germans for collecting them, digitising them and putting them up for viewing for free.

That wasn't a Gotha as We know them. It was a early version known as the Zeppelin Staaken R VI.

A few nights ago I watched a movie on that site called Das Lied Der Matrosen which was about the Kiel Mutiny which is a greatly overlooked part of WW1 and Post-WW1 history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiel_mutinyThe Film itself is on page 8, bottom right.

Actually the Gotha predates the Staaken by a couple of years. But you're right, that is the R.VI. It says so right on the label!

At 7:59, it really looks like an astronomy observatory. Does anyone recognize the place?

Most likely it was the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz...hysics_Potsdam
