Try this link for an absolute treasure trove of German newsreels, pre, during and post war. No doubt there'll be something here for everyone:

Phantomlord: I highly suspect that "copyright issues" is a smokescreen for your country to block anything produced by or seen to be in favor of the Nazi Party or any of its works. Since IIRC any reference to same is banned there, most ISP's and web hosts have to be very particular and exacting in making sure they aren't shut down for letting anything slip past.

@ phantomlord:
i too think it's a pity you can't see the vid.
i can assure you, nobody will become a nazi just by watching the coverage of above mentioned small video. it just shows a bit more of the true life out in open sea in a (compared to their enemies) tiny u-boot.

btw:
i'm in germany (near aachen) atm and i can't watch it now due to the same reason you wrote before. ridiculous!

It's called Politicly Corect.
It is Censurship, and it is dangerouse to Freedom Of Speech, and much more importantly,
Freedome Of Thought.

Social commentary here, off-topic I suppose.

Even though I learned Spanish in school here in the US (most of which I've forgotten by now due to lack of use,) it always makes me feel fairly lazy when most people in Europe speak at least two languages really well. It makes me want to get my learn on.

In the meantime...thanks for the help with translations.
