A curiosity to be sure


I just picked this film up on a DVD in the dollar bins at Target (it was part of a four-film multi-feature disc) and this was the only one of the set I hadn't seen before.

Let me clarify that: Very little of the footage has not been seen before many times over (the Paula Wolf and other interviews being the only "new" stuff). The large part of this film is culled from EXTREMELY muddy black-and-white prints of Eva Braun's color home movies -all of which are easily available, in their original color and much better restored prints, elsewhere.

The true value in sitting through this otherwise unwatchable compilation is to see the interview footage of Hitler's sister and other associates. A recent History Channel documentary on the wherabouts of Hitler's siblings and relatives used this same footage and stated that this was the only filmed interview Paula Wolf ever gave (or something to that effect).

A curiosity, to be sure, but it needs a video make-over.

I watched it through bit it was hard work.

It was free on Amazon Prime streaming thankfully.
Yes the clips were all pretty much what have been seen in other better documentaries. Nothing new in this other than it is a curiosity
