News Reels

My focus on new reels is those used during the early 20th century, especially those used to give information about the War to end all Wars, and the war that followed! (World War I and World War II). News reels were used as propaganda and did not always show the truth of what was happening at the time.

A sample newsreel can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlTCL8-uvec
Its a German newsreel about D-day, the day which American troops stormed beaches up and down the French coast, one of the bloodiest battles of the war.
