"Hitler's Children". 15 minutes. Black & White. Distributed by Mountain Films.

Excellent picture (not dark like some Mountains) and clear sound.
Excerpted from the RKO feature (83 minutes) of 1943 directed by Edward Dmytryk, starring Kent Taylor.

"But Lieutenant, she and her parents are now American citizens."
"Fraulein, were your parents both born in Germany?"
"Yes"
"Were you born in Germany?"
"Yes"
"Then you are all Germans"

Engrossing, exploitation film of young people forced to live life of horror in Nazi Germany. Quite sensational in its day. (Leonard Maltin.)

I found this quite disturbing although such a short film can hardly convey the full story line of the complete feature.

Sounds like an interesting article there, i have also recently bought a couple of 200ft ww2 documentations, Kamikaze, a derann 200 footer and also another Derann Pathe reel about the concentration camps and a female MPs call for you not to look away as the horror of what they did came to light. Very hard hitting but very compelling viewing.
Will pop a review later.
Thanks for this one Maurice. [Wink]
