Historic Find: Nazi Film Footage Found in Church

[NJCher]

Home movies made by Nazi officers in the 1940s have been found in a church in rural Devon.

The films show members of the SS running a slave labour camp in southern Russia. About 10" of film has been discovered.

Historians are saying it is the first time such footage has been seen. The nature of the footage is candid--more like home movies. "This is something someone shot to take home to the wife and kids," says one historian.

Here's the BBC page. Go the right hand side, scroll down a bit, and click "Video and Audio."

That's going to run for about one second, isn't it?

Edit: I went to BBC search results and Nazi home movies - full version, only to be told, "We're sorry. The content you requested is available for UK users only."
