@all, this is what you miss, if you don´t visit the site boomerang had posted.

Hi.
Just a short comment with regards to your information here. The PK movies and films are not afaik at Koblenz (the so called Bundesarchiv - Bildarchiv) or in Freiburg (Bundesarchiv - Militärarchiv), but in Berlin in the unit called FA for short or Filmarchiv.
Find it interesting that you state that the content of this archive is off-limits for the public. You can buy copies from the archive (it is however very expensive), and if you are able to visit the archive you can ask for a viewing of films you are interested in. Also - in cooperation with several other institutions and companies, the Bundesarchiv have made a lot of their collections of Wochenschau movies available for anyone to wath on the internet:
http://www.wochenschau-archiv.de
From this site one can register and view Wochenschau movies from the entire collection, including movies from the NSDAP period.
Well, this is at least my experience when I visited the FA in 2002.
Regards,
Andreas
