Cromwell Productions - Voices from Hitlers Army (2001) Part 2 The Luftwaffe Messengers of Death

History is always written by the victors… this is the other side of the coin. This is the front line perspective on World War II as seen through the eyes of the losing side, the men who fought for Hitler. These are the recollections of the men of the Kriegsmarine, the Luftwaffe and the Heer. Altogether, they formed the Wehrmacht which in 1940 was the most efficient fighting force the world had ever seen. By 1942, the tide had begun to turn and the men of the once mighty Wehrmacht fought in vain at Stalingrad, El Alamein, Monte Cassino, Caen and Berlin. These are the U-boat men, the Panzer crews and the air aces. This is military history at its best as told from primary sources. Like old soldiers everywhere, they are fading away, but these German veterans of World War II have an incredible and sometimes shocking story to tell. This is a unique opportunity to see and hear the last testimonies of Hitler's armies. These are remarkable personal accounts of Germany's rise and fall from the inside. Learn how those responsible for the maelstrom sent their armies to conquer only to see them crushed as the world united against them ; of men seduced by the siren call of Hitler only to pay a very heavy price.
