Headline Tag: Television Rating: Amazing Hits: 339 Comments: 2 Television Under the Swastika Television Under the Swastika Michael Kloft's documentary on the history of Nazi television. Legend has it that the triumphal march of television began in the United States in the fifties. But in reality its origins hark back much further. As early as the thirties, a bitter rivalry raged for the world's first television broadcast. Nazi Germany wanted to beat the competition from Great Britain and the U.S. - at all costs. Reich Broadcast Director Hadamovsky christened the new-born "Greater German Television" in March 1935. And it was only in September 1944 that the last program flickered across the TV screens. For a long time the belief persisted that only very few Nazi programs had survived, but SPIEGEL TV has now succeeded in tracking down a stock of television films and reports which have remained intact since the end of the Third Reich. These include extensive coverage of the 1936 National Socialist Party Convention in Nuremberg which recalls today's live broadcasts, and of a 1937 visit Benito Mussolini paid to Berlin. Interviews with high-ranking Nazis such as Albert Speer, Robert Ley and the actor Heinrich George are among the finds, along with numerous special reports (i.e. on the Reich Labor Service), a cooking show and the lottery drawing. Television anchorwomen greet their tiny audiences in specially installed television parlors in Berlin, Munich and Hamburg with "Heil Hitler." The entertainment programs are particularly curious. Cabaret artists are featured - alongside singers extolling the virtues of the "brown columns of the SA and SS." This documentary by Michael Kloft will reveal a rare and intriguing view of the Third Reich, one far removed from the propagandistic presentations of Leni Riefenstahl & Co. and the weekly cinema newsreel, yet no less ideologically slanted. This is Nazi Germany expressed in an aesthetic medium that we ourselves have only really known since the fifties. User: spam_vigilante Jul 23, 2008 4:11 AM

Headline Tag: Documentary Rating: Amazing Hits: 272 Comments: 0 Buried at Sea Buried at Sea The search for chemical and biological weapons in the world's oceans: Buried at Sea chronicles this shocking environmental story. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of highly toxic materials lie scattered on ocean floors - in barrels that are rusting away and releasing their lethal contents. While we worry about weapons of mass destruction in the hands of rogue states, the West's legacy may prove far more dangerous. During the Second World War, Canada produced more chemical weapons than any other of the Allies. After the war, and during the Cold War era, massive weapons stockpiles were simply dumped into the ocean by the United States, Britain, Canada, the Soviet Union and Germany. They were considered buried and done with forever. Information about known dumps was either mishandled or suppressed. This documentary takes us on a journey to discover some of the most dangerous dump sites. The oceans are vast and finding weapons lying underwater will prove difficult. However, the health of marine species and coastal communities is at risk. Buried at Sea takes viewers on an underwater search and weaves the stories of people around the world whose lives have been affected by these chemical weapons. Buried at Sea is directed and produced by John Wesley Chisholm and co-produced by Kent Martin for the National Film board of Canada. User: spam_vigilante Jun 5, 2008 2:53 AM

Headline Tag: Reference Rating: Amazing Hits: 1374 Comments: 2 Hitler's War on America Hitler's War on America Adolf Hitler's megalomania knew no limits: from the very outbreak of war, his strategists were forging plans to attack the USA. The most daring of these involved suicide missions, in which squadrons of German fighter planes would crash into Manhattan's skyscrapers as living bombs. Large cargo planes would carry small planes over the Atlantic. The fighter planes would then disengage, and their pilots would steer them into the skyscrapers of New York - a 9/11 scenario contemplated half a century earlier. Hitler had dreams of attacking the US. The dream was big, the logistics a nightmare but Hitler's determination was unbounded. So when the plans for a bomber became hobbled with problems, he brought in a host of extraordinary Plan Bs, including the use of seaplane bomber, a mid-air refuelling mission and the invasion of Iceland so the Germans could use it as an air base. On the ground, Hitler also had spies in New York sussing out potential targets. Many Nazi agents were already ensconced in the community and some literally walked in from the sea. Bizarre as it sounds, they would be taken as close to shore as possible by submarine, swim to the beach, change clothes, then catch the next train into Manhattan.
