Review of Swastika (1974) by Richard L — 30 Oct 2013
One of the most haunting fascinating and mesmeric films or pieces I have seen on this subject matter.
Some incredible footage that I've not seen elsewhere and rarer still much footage that's often always been silent but here you see the home movies for instance at the berghof with the sound to match which is just fascinating and I've not seen this used in any other film or documentary.
It does well in its intent and helps to show how the German people really would have seen the times and regime around them while still showing the flip side of this aswell.
Would highly recomend and wish there was more of this footage and film available.
Just learned that the home movie footage was expertly dubbed using deaf people to lip read what was being said.
But still greatly changes and brings to life the footage in question.
Also some great extras including fascinating clips of Albert spear being interviewed in the 70s I think.
