1930s GERMAN ARMY BASIC TRAINING CALISTHENICS & EXERCISE HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT BOXING XD82405
Disclaimer:
This historic German film was produced during WWII as propaganda in support of the National Socialist regime. It is presented in its original form as an historical document so that students, educators, researchers and the general public can see how the Nazi regime justified its criminal activities. The political symbols of the regime, including the flag, swastika and eagle, may appear on screen. Periscope Film absolutely condemns the Nazi regime and affirms that it committed grave atrocities, war crimes, and crimes against humanity before and during WWII. These include the tragic, mass extermination of millions of innocent civilians. We preserve these films in part so that these terrible events and victims are not forgotten.
“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.“ -- Winston Churchill
