Where are the original PK reels of the unedited footage kept? The newsreel stuff is the edited bits jumbled up in no real order. The original raw footage would be much more interesting.
In the UK you can go to The IWM and view the original reels as taken by the cameramen. It is free,all you have to do is book in advance and you can buy vidoe copies/stills of anything you want. The Pathe Newsreels have but a fraction of the available footage.

Now if only I could find the German originals in some archive.................
